In hw/kvm/pci-assign.c a pread() error part of assigned_dev_pci_read() 
result in a hw_error(). Similarly a pwrite() error part of 
assigned_dev_pci_write() also result in a hw_error().

Would there be a way to avoid terminating the guest for those cases? How 
about we deassign the device upon error?

thanks,
Etienne
