Title:
  qemu cannot run twice

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  After using qemu with gpu passthrough and then shutting down windows 7 
properly I cannot boot windows 7 a second time.
  Only a full reboot of linux fixes this issue.
  Qemu appears to corrupt something in linux when exiting.
  I get no error messages but windows 7 never finishes booting during the 2nd 
try.
  Apparently I do try to run vfiobind each time the script is run.
  Wondering if rerunning vfiobind can cause an issue?
