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.

Not an expert on this topic, but I did my due diligence and it makes sense to me, so

Disclamer: I'm not objecting to the ACK, it's clearly better than it was.

Why on earth is this in the domain address callback? That means that it's filled on parse. That's silly for a thing like the isolation group. The isolation group is necessary only when you are going to start the VM so only then it should be determined. That would prevent a bug like this altogether. Also there's PCI hotplug...
