Do you see value in making the global reset_required changeable, with
the behavior of any given device dependent on the setting of this
variable at the time of probe?  It seems like a bit of a support issue
to me.  Also, we're breaking existing users if there are any with this
change.  Should we introduce a CONFIG option to set the default?  I
think we can get away with changing the default that way, but I'm not
so sure otherwise.

nit, this looks more like a:

static bool vfio_platform_has_reset(...)
	...
		return vfio_platform_acpi_has_reset() == 0;

	...

	return vdev->of_reset != NULL
