That allows us to confine these quirks to the platforms where they are relevant. I would make the quirks more specific, though, instead of doing them for all IBM and Mellanox devices. I wonder if we should not have some form of domain reset, where we would reset all the devices on the same group, and use that on vfio. Grouping the devices would then be made platform-dependent, as well as the reset method. On powernv, we would group by IOMMU group and issue a fundamental reset.
