There isn't. An we even have cases like the

Wait, I'm not convinced

No, ~0 means that the PCI read failed. For *every* PCI device I know.
Here's me reading from 0xf0 offset of my hostbridge:
# setpci -s 00:00.0 0xf0.l
0100
That

The return value of pci_read_config_*() may not indicate a device error.
However, the value read by these functions is more likely to indicate
this kind of error. This presents two overlapping ways of reporting
errors and complicates error checking.
It is possible to move to one single way of
