Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/2] virtio-pci: reset all qbuses too when writing to the status field

Let's rename it.

We have a similar issue in virtio-serial.c, and with my patch you can
do this:

i.e. just implement a method on the bus to do the hard-reset, and let
generic infrastructure call it.

Sticking a bus reset in virtio_pci_reset would.  But that's not
what my patch does.

No, because that would also reset the virtio-pci bits (ioeventfd etc.) which
virtio-scsi has no business with.  What I could do is to call qbus_reset_all,
but it makes no sense to me when there is a generic solution.
