Inherit bus numbers from the previous kernel during a Live Update when
one or more PCI devices are being preserved. This is necessary so that
preserved devices can DMA through the IOMMU during a Live Update
(changing bus numbers would break IOMMU translation).
I think changing bus numbers would break DMA regardless of whether an
IOMMU is involved.  Completions carrying the data for DMA reads are
routed back to the Requester ID of the read.
