[PATCH 1/3] xen-pciback: redo VF placement in the virtual topology



The commit referenced below was incomplete: It merely affected what
would get written to the vdev-<N> xenstore node. The guest would still
find the function at the original function number as long as 
__xen_pcibk_get_pci_dev() wouldn't be in sync. The same goes for AER wrt
__xen_pcibk_get_pcifront_dev().

Undo overriding the function to zero and instead make sure that VFs at
function zero remain alone in their slot. This has the added benefit of
improving overall capacity, considering that there's only a total of 32
slots available right now (PCI segment and bus can both only ever be
zero at present).

Fixes: 8a5248fe10b1 ("xen PV passthru: assign SR-IOV virtual functions to 
separate virtual slots")

Like the original change this has the effect of changing where devices
would appear in the guest, when there are multiple of them. I don't see
an immediate problem with this, but if there is we may need to reduce
the effect of the change.
Taking into account, besides the described breakage, how xen-pcifront's
pcifront_scan_bus() works, I also wonder what problem it was in the
first place that needed fixing. It may therefore also be worth to
consider simply reverting the original change.
