I'll look into this when I have some spare time.
There is code to print messages based on the contents
of arbitrary configuration registers (see what's done
for the Intel Saturn chip-set, for example, that's the
one I implemented the feature for, originally ...)

But in fact I think those register dumps should be 
moved out of the kernel and into a user-land program,
which accesses the configuration registers through the
ioctl interface (/dev/pci), see pciconf.
