[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: Prevent isolation group-related guest disappearance
We can't retrieve the isolation group of a device that's
not present in the system. However, it's very common for
VFs to be created late in the boot, so they might not be
present yet when libvirtd starts, which would cause the
guests using them to disappear.
If a PCI address has already been set for the host device
in question, we can assume that it either existed at some
point in the past or the user is assigning addresses
manually: in both cases, we should not error out and just
ignore the (temporary) failure.
