An MMIO read from a PCI device that doesn't exist or doesn't respond
causes a PCI error. There's no real data to return to satisfy the
CPU read, so most hardware fabricates ~0 data.

The host controller drivers sets the error response values (~0) and
returns an error when faulty hardware read occurs. But the error
response value (~0) is already being set in PCI_OP_READ and
PCI_USER_READ_CONFIG whenever a read by host controller driver fails.

Thus, it's no longer necessary for the host controller drivers to
fabricate any error response.

This helps unify PCI error response checking and make error check
consistent and easier to find.

I think it would be helpful if you include us in the review of the PCI
core code change (pci.h and access.c) so we get the right context to
review this change at the individual driver level.
I apologize for the rookie mistake ^^', I'll see to it from next time 
that I always add proper recepients to the patches so that everyone 
gets enough context.
The driver change looks fine to me, as long as the change in the core is
reviewed and approved.
Thank you very much for taking the time to review it.
Thanks,

Ray
