No drivers of GPOSes, but special or legacy OSes may do so. Keep in mind
that Intel e.g. is documenting their PCI devices with fixed config space
addresses for their capability.

Also, we completely lack PM caps so far. Adding them would already have
the value of increasing emulation accuracy. And here I think we are free
to always implement reset behavior behind D3->D0 transitions. So my
believe is that this will be the better path.
