vfio-pci: Reset workaround for AMD Bonaire and Hawaii GPUs



Somehow these GPUs manage not to respond to a PCI bus reset, removing
our primary mechanism for resetting graphics cards.  The result is
that these devices typically work well for a single VM boot.  If the
VM is rebooted or restarted, the guest driver is not able to init the
card from the dirty state, resulting in a blue screen for Windows
guests.

The workaround is to use a device specific reset.  This is not 100%
reliable though since it depends on the incoming state of the device,
but it substantially improves the usability of these devices in a VM.
