Currently if a driver is not loaded for a device, we will not respond to the device create until it is done. This causes s-Par to not mark the partition running if the driver for the device is not loaded. Since there are several devices that could be assigned to a guest that don't have an actual driver this will cause us to never go running. If the device driver is loaded, we WILL continue to only respond to the device PAUSE message when the device driver has responded that it is done with the device.
