>     1. xend sends 'pci-ins' command to ioemu via xenstore.
> 
>     2. ioemu creates pass-through device and raises SCI to Guest
>        OS. Guest OS loads device driver, and device driver initializes
>        the hot-plugged device.
> 
>     3. xend does FLR(include bus reset and acpi reset).
> 
> Actually 2 and 3 are parallel. But it is possible xend does FLR after
> device driver initialize the device. This cause hot-plug issue.
> 
> To fix the issue, xend should do FLR before sending 'pci-ins' command.
