1b889d6e39c3 ("virtio-iommu: Clear IOMMUDevice when VFIO device is unplugged" fixes the VFIO hotplug/hotunplug/hotplug sequence by clearing the IOMMUDevice which backs the VFIO device. However this brings other troubles such as a memory corruption.
Even when fixing some cleanups that were missed on the first attempt the memory corruption still exists if the IOMMUDevice is freed. Until we understand the exact cause let's make things simpler: let the backing IOMMUDevice survive the unplug as what is done on intel iommu for instance. Clean up/reset resources that would prevent the device from being hotplugged again (probe_done is removed, [host_]resv_regions are reset). By doing this we also rule out the use case of aliased BDFs which is known to be not functional with virtio-iommu (missing guest kernel support) and the virtio-iommu device implementation is not ready either.
