Instead of removing the PCI device from the kernel's topology on controller failure, this patch simply requests unbinding the device from the driver. This avoids concurrently running pci removal with the hot plug event, which has been reported to be problematic when multiple surprise events occur near simultaneously. The other benefit is that we will have PCI config and memory space available to poke around for debugging a failed controller, assuming the device was not physically removed. The down side occurs if the platform and/or kernel do not support any type of surprise hot removal. The device will remain visible through sysfs (and therefore lspci), and some manual work is necessary to get the logical topology corrected. But if your platform and/or kernel don't support surprise removal, you probably shouldn't be doing that anyway.
