[PATCH] vfio: Add an ioctl to reset the device

[Alex Williamson]

When using VFIO to assign a device to a guest, we want to make sure
the device is quiesced on VM reset to stop all DMA within the guest
mapped memory.  Add an ioctl which just calls pci_reset_function()
and returns whether it succeeds.

We've recently needed to add this functionality for current KVM
based device assignment, VFIO should provide a way to do this too.
An example of it being used in the Qemu VFIO driver can be found
here:
