OK.

Thanks for the suggestion. Let me make the new PHYSDEVOP_pci_device_reset
in the next version instead of current workaround.

The MSI(-X) interrupts doesn't work in our platform, I don't figure the
root cause yet. Could you please elaborate where we should require removing
any mappings of BARs into the dom0 physmap here?

Thanks,
