I think we can make rules more simple. When device_finalize() called,
we will let realized=false, and this will reclaim e1000's extra
resource, and then pci extra resource. And there is no issue about
touching freed memory.

Think it will not happen. Since instance_finalize is a hook for
derived object, as for Object, object_finalize is the one, right?

I guess device_unparent = isolate and device_finalize = reclaim
resource, basing on the understanding of Paolo's patches "Delay
destruction of memory regions to instance_finalize".
