I just want to make sure we're okay with the behavior with such VFs as
it seems like the one case where a reset via the bridge affects PCI
functions which aren't attached to the bridge pci_dev otherwise. And
for example as I understand it these would not be covered by the
pci_bus_save_and_disable_locked().
