Hi!
pci bus reset does not seem to clear pci config registers, such as BAR
registers, or memory space enable, of the attached devices: it only
clears the interrupt state.

This seems wrong, but easy to fix.
I don't think most pci devices reset their config space in their reset callbacks.

For things like BAR registers, they really must.

BARs should be registered via pci_register_bar so you should be able to centralize their reset.

class codes are read only registers. Your proposal might be correct for
some of these. But PCI registers that are reset, change as a result of
guest activity, and reset values are typically specified by guest spec.
So I don't think we should let users tweak these.

Well, I guess my general point was that it would be good to add more structure to how config space is initialized. I think a natural consequence of that is that it becomes easier to automatically fix the values on reset.
