KVM: Enable Function Level Reset for assigned device
Ideally, every assigned device should in a clear condition before and after assignment, so that the former state of device won't affect later work. Some devices provide a mechanism named Function Level Reset, which is defined in PCI/PCI-e document. We should execute it before and after device assignment. (But sadly, the feature is new, and most device on the market now don't support it. We are considering using D0/D3hot transmit to emulate it later, but not that elegant and reliable as FLR itself.) [Update: Reminded by Xiantao, execute FLR after we ensure that the device can be assigned to the guest.] Signed-off-by: Sheng Yang <sheng@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
