[PATCH] Force FLR on for buggy SR-IOV devices.

[Chris Lalancette <clalance@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Some buggy PCI devices actually support FLR, but
forget to advertise that fact in their PCI config space.
However, Virtual Functions on SR-IOV devices are
*required* to support FLR by the spec, so force has_flr
on if this is a virtual function.
