PCI: pci-stub module to reserve pci device



When doing device assignment with KVM there's currently nothing to
protect the device from having a driver in the host as well as the guest.
This trivial module just binds the pci device on the host to a stub
driver so that a real host driver can't bind to the device.  It has no
pci id table, it supports only dynamic ids.

 # echo "8086 10f5" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pci-stub/new_id
 # echo -n 0000:00:19.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/e1000e/unbind
 # echo -n 0000:00:19.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pci-stub/bind
 # ls -l /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:19.0/driver
 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2008-11-25 19:10 /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:19.0/driver -> ../../../bus/pci/drivers/pci-stub
