No, that's true.  Most PCI bridges, though unfortunately not the 21285, let 
you drive local reset from software (via a register bit).  I guess you could 
do the same with some external hardware, or have a boot ROM on the EBSA-285 
that didn't actually start Linux until it received some signal from the 
host.  Obviously the latter would be less robust in the face of a PnP OS 
wanting to arbitrarily reorganise PCI space some time after booting, but that 
might not be too much of a problem in reality.
