You can then get reset for free and it's possible for users to tweak things like class codes universally.

This seems wrong, but easy to fix. I don't think most pci devices reset their config space in their reset callbacks. For things like BAR registers, they really must. The PCI spec is quite specific on this point. I would think that making most of the config space (if not the entire) qdev properties would make sense.

But PCI registers that are reset, change as a result of guest activity, and reset values are typically specified by guest spec. So I don't think we should let users tweak these.

BARs should be registered via pci_register_bar so you should be able to centralize their reset. class codes are read only registers. Your proposal might be correct for some of these. But PCI registers that are reset, change as a result of guest activity, and reset values are typically specified by guest spec. So I don't think we should let users tweak these. Well, I guess my general point was that it would be good to add more structure to how config space is initialized. I think a natural consequence of that is that it becomes easier to automatically fix the values on reset.
