At this point we know that this is a (modern) virtio-pci device which,
according to the virtio 1.0 specification, must have this capability. So
this is definitely an error, but the topology description is an optional
feature.

Yes, "virtio-pci common configuration capability" would be more
appropriate

Yes it's the virtio reset - writing 0 to the status register in the BAR.
