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,
