Right, just set a flag or something.

Let's try to work out what can be done a bit more constructively.
Doesn't vfio already reset device on release?
How about detecting there was an unhandled AER event
and doing link reset at that point?

What does this mean that we trigger with uncor_status as opposed to 1?

So set flag and recover ?
