PCI core handles save and restore of device state around reset, but when using pci_set_power_state() we can unintentionally trigger a soft reset of the device, where PCI core only restores the BAR state. If we're using vfio-pci's idle D3 support to try to put devices into low power when unused, this might trigger a reset when the device is woken for use. Also power state management by the user, or within a guest, can put the device into D3 power state with potentially limited ability to restore the device if it should undergo a reset. The PCI spec does not define the extent of a soft reset and many devices reporting soft reset on D3->D0 transition do not undergo a PCI config space reset. It's therefore assumed safe to unconditionally restore the remainder of the state if the device indicates soft reset support, even on a user initiated wakeup. Implement a wrapper in vfio-pci to tag devices reporting PM reset support, save their state on transitions into D3 and restore on transitions back to D0.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
