Some devices allow an individual function to be reset without affecting
other functions in the same device: that's what pci_reset_function does.
For devices that have this support, expose reset attribite in sysfs.
This is useful e.g. for virtualization, where a qemu userspace
process wants to reset the device when the guest is started/reset,
to emulate machine reboot as closely as possible.

Jesse, all,
could you please comment on whether the following approach looks sane?
Compile-tested only at this point. I'm also not sure whether the
CAP_SYS_ADMIN check is necessary: maybe 400 permissions on the sysfs
file are sufficient?

Please add the proper documentation to Documentation/ABI for any new
sysfs file you create.

So you only add the file if there is a reset function, which is fine,
but later on:

You always remove the file, if it has been created or not. That could
cause problems in the future, please only remove a file if you have
actually added it to the sysfs tree.

OK. I think, however, that it's better to avoid probing the function
on cleanup path just to figure out whether the file needs to be removed.
Can this info be stored in struct pci_dev?

Aside from vague worries about encouraging more userland drivers, this
seems like a reasonable feature to me (and certainly no more
encouraging than our current set of config and resource files).
