Hmm, cool. I think we have a similar feature on pseries so that's
probably broken too.

The enable hook seems like it's a bit too late for this sort of
screwing around with the pci_dev. Anything in the setup path that
looks at ->detached_vf would see it cleared while anything that looks
after the device is enabled will see it set. Can this go into
pcibios_add_device() or a fixup instead?
