SubjectRe: [PATCH v2 3/3] vfio/pci: Don't probe devices that can't be reset

But that's not what this does, this requires that the device is on a
reset-able bus. This is a massive regression. With this we could no
longer assign devices on the root complex or any device which doesn't
return from bus reset and currently makes use of the NO_BUS_RESET flag
and works happily otherwise. Full NAK. Thanks,

Alex
