Ah, right. I also now removed reset_lock from 
pciehp_ignore_dpc_link_change() that is directly called from pciehp_ist().

This leaves reset_lock only into pciehp_free_irq(), pciehp_reset_slot(), 
and pciehp_check_presence(). It seems to me pciehp_check_presence() 
requires keeping reset_lock as is. The former two could have synchronized 
with a mutex and shorter critical sections in pciehp_reset_slot() but it 
doesn't look worth the effort (IMO) to divide reset_lock into two to 
realize that.

Sure, take your time. :-)
