Alex, is there some warning about situations like this where a device
may leak state between VMs?

There's nothing in quirk_no_bus_reset() itself where we set
PCI_DEV_FLAGS_NO_BUS_RESET, and nothing in pci_parent_bus_reset() or
pci_dev_reset_slot_function() where we test it, but I didn't chase
into VFIO.

Seems important enough that we might want to mention it at least once
and maybe even every time we try to reset the device.  I hope the leak
isn't completely silent.
