This has the same problem as your earlier bridge_enable patch; you need
to keep the call to pci_reenable_device. I should have caught this
issue when Yinghai's patch went in: the right way to silence a warning
about not checking a return value isn't to simply assign it to
something, you really should *do* something as well, at least some
debug output would be nice, but ideally handling the error in a sane
way.
