I tried this several months ago.  It seemed to cause problems.  But
I rewrote the code instead of using it directly from the Broadcom driver
(I don't think OpenBSD had it at all then) so maybe I got it wrong.

I believe Jonathan also said that checking the BGE_PCI_PCISTAT
register might be quite expensive.
