We've done a bit of testing and determined that the KVM support code does
call pci_reset_function() from kvm_free_assigned_device() when a Virtual Machine
is powered down. But pci_reset_function() is not called when a Virtual
Machine is rebooted. It really should be reset for a reboot to track what
happens to a Physical Host when a reboot is performed ...
We've also determined that writing the FLR bit in the PCI-E Express Capability
in an Assigned Device from the Guest OS/Driver does not result in a call to
pci_reset_function() in the Hypervisor. This seems to be a problem ...
