What if the failing PCI access happened in an interrupt routine?
(I'm thinking of the situation where you may need to read the PCI
status registers to find out whether an error occurred.)

Also, for that matter, what if a network device receives an abort
while performing BM-DMA?

Do we even care about either of these two scenarios?
