That's a good point. The iommu-level reset is per struct device.
So, basically it'll match with the FLR per pci_dev. Yet, the RID
isolation between siblings might be a concern:

IIRC, an alias device might have:
a) one pci_dev; multiple RIDs
In this case, neither FLR nor IOMMU isolates between RIDs.
So, both FLR and IOMMU blocking will reset all RIDs. There
should be no issue resulted from the IOMMU blocking.
b) multiple pci_devs; single RID
In this case, FLR only resets one device, while the IOMMU-
level reset will block the entire RID (i.e. all devices),
since they share the single translation tunnel. This could
break the siblings, if they aren't also being reset along.

c) multiple pci_devs with their own RIDs
In this case, either FLR or IOMMU only resets the PF. That
being said, VFs might be affected since PF is resetting?
If there is an issue, I don't see it coming from the IOMMU-
level reset..
Thus, case b might be breaking. So, perhaps we should add a few
conditions when calling iommu_dev_reset_prepare/done():
+ Make sure that the pci_dev has ATS capability
+ Make sure no sibling pci_dev(s) sharing the same RID
+ Any others?
