Welcome to the kernel, there are no setjmp / longjmp.  You can can try to
use the functions from <asm/paccess.h> to protect your memory accesses
against bus error exceptions.  Note this won't work for cases where the
bus error exceptions is imprecise because then the EPC for the exception
isn't guranteed to have the proper value.  The get_dbe / put_dbe functions
are used just like get_user / put_user from <linux/uaccess.h> except that
those are meant to protect against TLB exceptions.

Or just temporarily disable the bus error in your PCI config space
accessors.
