Do you see value in making the global reset_required changeable, with
the behavior of any given device dependent on the setting of this
variable at the time of probe? It seems like a bit of a support issue
to me. Also, we're breaking existing users if there are any with this
change. Should we introduce a CONFIG option to set the default? I
think we can get away with changing the default that way, but I'm not
so sure otherwise.

nit, this looks more like a:

static bool vfio_platform_has_reset(...)
...
return vfio_platform_acpi_has_reset() == 0;

...

return vdev->of_reset != NULL
