Ah, I see so that we don't renumber the buses during PCI discovery..

It seems like Eric's issue is overly broad if we just want to block
RID reassignment that doesn't impact MMIO layout.

But, still, why do we care about this?

The vIOMMU should virtualize the vSIDs right? So why does qemu give a
vSID list to the guest anyhow? Shouldn't the guest use an algorithmic
calculation from the vRID so that qemu can reverse it to the correct
vPCI device and thus the correct vfio_device and then dev id in the
iommu_domain?
