That's right.  Conceptually we have a 2 dimensional array of all 
possible upstream devices vs. all possible downstream devices.  The 
maintenance burden of correctly populating this and keeping it up to 
date would be impossible.

The e1000e works well, I am sure, with most Intel root ports.  We 
haven't investigated exactly which end of the link is responsible for 
the failures against the cn8890 root port, but the simplest way forward 
is to just say it cannot support bus reset.

Yeah, I need to be more careful.  We really need to improve the 
grammatical analysis capabilities of checkpatch.pl, I think I will lay 
the blame there.

I can resubmit or Bjorn can fix it before committing, I will let him decide.

David.
