This I'm afraid I don't know enough about to comment much. tools/python/xen/util/pci.py appears to implement various FLR quirks for bits of hardware, including some GFX from the looks of things. These all belong in the upstream Linux kernel these days. You don't say which kernel you are using but you could try updating it. You could also check the kernel source for a quirk for your particular hardware.
