Maybe a sign we shouldn't be including vfio/pci.h

Hmm, you're basically looking at private data structure fields for
experimental disable flags, which no user, or more importantly no
management tool, could rightfully be expected to provide.  Can we not
take this into account to automatically do the right thing, ie.
automatically set the necessary flag during the device realize?  Thanks,
