If I understand correctly, these two (patches 3 & 4) fix a v3.14 regression
caused by 425c1b223dac ("PCI: Add Virtual Channel to save/restore support").

If so, these should go to for-linus for v3.19. What about patches 1 & 2?
Do they fix a regression? Is there a pointer to a bugzilla or problem
report about that issue?

I don't understand the connection between 425c1b223dac and
PCI_DEV_FLAGS_NO_BUS_RESET, because 425c1b223dac doesn't seem to do any
resets. Is that the wrong commit, or can you outline the connection for
me?
