If the comment is correct and the value is only lost due to 
suspend/resume, this should already be covered by us saving/restoring 
config registers although I believe we only save the normal registers 
(first 64 bytes).  Since RETRY_TIMEOUT is beyond that range, it's 
probably not currently saved.

In any case, I'd prefer we fix pci_cfg_save/restore() instead of doing 
this in the driver.  Overall, it would be useful to analyze and improve 
coverage of what values we save and restore from config space.  We 
definitely need to cover type 1 and 2 (bridge) devices as well.
