If we dont' consider the association between IOMMU and devices in FLR(),
it can be understood that more complex processing logic resides outside
this function. However, if the FLR() function already synchironizes and
handles the association with IOMMU like this (disabling ATS by attaching
device to blocking domain), then how would the following scenarios
behave ?

1. Reset one of PCIe alias devices.
2. Reset PF when its VFs are actvie.
....
