[libvirt] PATCH: Always reset PCI devices

[Daniel P. Berrange]

Mark's patches added a attribute  managed='yes|no' for PCI <hostdev> 
configuration. This allows the caller app to indicate  who is responsible
for attaching/detaching the PCI device from the host drivers. When using
managed=yes, libvirt does it, while using managed=no, the someone else
should do it - typically blacklist the devices in /etc/modprobe.conf

Before launching a guest though the devices need to be reset. Mark made
the reset operation conditional on managed=yes, which was not what I
had intended. libvirtd should always reset the devices so they are in
a sane state before booting, regardless of who manages the host driver
binding. The forthcoming PCI passthrough suppor in the Xen driver will
work in this way - we'll only support managed=no, but XenD will still
always do the reset of devices

I also add a comment to remind us that we should add validation that
the PCI device is not still in use in the non-managed case.
