Couple questions wrt VGA device:
(1) Many graphics devices are multi-function, one function being VGA;
     is the VGA always function 0, so this scan sees it first & doesn't
     do a reset on that PCIe link?  if the VGA is not function 0, won't
     this logic break (will reset b/c function 0 is non-VGA graphics) ?
(2) I'm hearing VGA will soon not be the a required console; this logic
     assumes it is, and why it isn't blanked.
     Q: Should the filter be based on a device having a device-class of display ?

Thanks for this re-start.  I need to continue reviewing the rest.

Q: Why not force IOMMU off when re-booting a kexec kernel to perform a crash
    dump?  After the crash dump, the system is rebooting to previous (iommu=on) setting.
    That logic, along w/your previous patch to disable the IOMMU if iommu=off
    is set, would remove this (relatively slow) PCI init sequencing ?
