I feel like "its last known saved state" and "its initial saved state"
might not be the same thing. The way vdev->pci_saved_state is used at
the moment it really is the initial saved state. And I think that makes
sense for a simple approach to recovery where user-space drivers would
basically just do their initial setup / probing again.

Code looks good, thanks!
