Currently reset_required can be configured using a module parameter.
But it cannot be overridden at runtime through sysfs, as the parameter
is read-only.
Make it writeable for root, as this is useful if vfio-platform is
builtin, so the following works:
echo 0 > /sys/module/vfio_platform/parameters/reset_required
