We can't leave the ITE triggered by this request for the next one, which
has no context about why this happened. Perhaps move below code down to
the segment that handles ITEs.

Another concern is about qi_dump_fault(), which pr_err's the fault
message as long as the register is set. Some faults are predictable,
such as cache invalidation for surprise-removed devices. Unconditionally
reporting errors with pr_err() may lead the user to believe that a more
serious hardware error has occurred. Probably we can refine this part of
the code as well.

Others look sane to me.
