Do SeaBIOS/edk2 drivers make use of those resets as well?  It seems like
when I've seen trouble with assigned USB devices, it's often at the VM
BIOS.  In any case, if there are USB specific standards here, we should
hook them in through pci_dev_specific_reset() in the host kernel.  I
imagine we'd try to prioritize these lower than a PCI FLR, but
certainly better than nothing.  Thanks,
