We currently mandate that the driver clears the summary indicator
before processing the queue indicator; this is bogus, as the requirement
for interrupt avoidance is rather that the driver unsets the summary
indicator before before it stops looking at the queue indicator.
In fact, the best way to get a race-free implementation of the interrupt
handler is to process the queue indicators twice; let's add a recommondation
to do that.

Re section:
4.1.3.4 Notification of Device Configuration Changes
Feedback:
Please use "PCI configuration space" and "device configuration
state" consistently, without abbreviation. For example, from the
first sentence it looks like "device configuration state" can be
changed, but the first bullet claims it's "configuration space".
So, which one? Does "configuration space" mean "PCI configuration
space" or is it a synonym for "device configuration state"?
Because those are two different things; the driver needs to know
what exactly to rescan.
