When using -pcidevice on a device that is already in use by a kernel driver
all the user gets is the following (very useful) information:
Failed to assign device "04:00.0" : Device or resource busy
Failed to deassign device "04:00.0" : Invalid argument
Error initializing device pci-assign
Since I usually prefer to have my computer do the thinking for me, I figured
it might be a good idea to check and see if a device is actually used by a
driver. If so, tell the user.
So with this patch applied you get the following output:
Failed to assign device "04:00.0" : Device or resource busy
*** The driver 'igb' is occupying your device 04:00.0.
***
*** You can try the following commands to free it:
***
*** $ echo "8086 150a" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pci-stub/new_id
*** $ echo "0000:04:00.0" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/igb/unbind
*** $ echo "0000:04:00.0" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pci-stub/bind
*** $ echo "8086 150a" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pci-stub/remove_id
***
Failed to deassign device "04:00.0" : Invalid argument
Error initializing device pci-assign
That should keep people like me from doing the most obvious misuses :-).

v1 -> v2:
- add more helpful guidance thanks to Daniel Berrange
v2 -> v3:
- clear name variable before using it, thus 0-terminating the string
- fix region numbers
- use correct unbind/bind names
v3 -> v4:
- split id retrieval part
- mst comments
