Somehow small changes like these add up to something much greater than one would expect. This touches many native controller drivers but in trivial ways, so I plan to merge this branch after the usual native controller stuff from Lorenzo. I tweaked the commit logs to clarify that this series is all about *config* reads, not MMIO reads. MMIO reads have similar issues, and we can use PCI_ERROR_RESPONSE, etc., there, too, but that's not what this series does. Bjorn
