A separate patchset with just bugfixes and cleanups, would be easier to
merge.


For example, forcing all devices to call pci_reset_default
in their reset routines does not look like a good cleanup:
the less boilerplate, the better IMO. New APIs seem undocumented
and it is not obvious what they do. For example, what does
qdev_reset do?  Adding more callbacks
also does not make me very happy, they are hard to follow
and to debug. Maybe it would be better to look at the bridge layer when
we see how it helps pci express. But it would be even better IMO to avoid
layers, and just export some common functions that can be reused,
without forcing all devices to go through them.
