PCI: Tune secondary bus reset timing
The PCI spec indicates that with stable power, reset needs to be asserted for a minimum of 1ms (Trst). We should be able to assume stable power for a Hot Reset, but we add another millisecond as a fudge factor to make sure the reset is seen on the bus for at least a full 1ms. After reset is de-asserted we must wait for devices to complete initialization. The specs refer to this as "recovery time" (Trhfa). For PCI this is 2^25 clock cycles or 2^26 for PCI-X. For minimum bus speeds, both of those come to 1s. PCIe "softens" this requirement with the Configuration Request Retry Status (CRS) completion status. Theoretically we could use CRS to shorten the wait time. We don't make use of that here, using a fixed 1s delay to allow devices to re-initialize.
