Gavin provided a review/suggestions via chat, pointing to rely on the
refcount that already exists in the PCI subsystem (not reinvent another)
and leverage the release of the PCI root bus -- which is much simpler!

He replied there should be no problems w/ the EEH reset path (PCI root
bus not released) nor w/ other structs w/ refs to the PHB (PCI DN, EEH
PE, EEH DEV).

I'll go down that path for a PATCH v3.
