Please no. Can we quirk just the device with the problem? My issue
with turning on surprise hotplug across the system is that secondary bus
resets will trigger a device hot unplug, hot re-plug. I have a system
with an integrated broadcom NIC behind a root port that claims to
support surprise hotplug (even though this NIC is soldered to the
motherboard) and it's nearly impossible to use it with KVM device
assignment because the struct pci_dev goes away as we're trying to use
it. This patch is only going to make that problem more widespread.
Thanks,
Alex
