Hi @Jason

Both hypervisor and backend device may need to support virtio-mmio device reset 
Adding CONFIG_VIRTIO_MMIO_POLL_RESET is for the system that has such support.

A config option (feature bit) is a better approach.
Thanks for the review.

Any reason this is not a feature but a config option?
