Thanks for reporting !

Oh shit, you're right, we can't lookup the existing mdev info [1] to know its parent PCI device since the mdev disappeared after rebooting...

So, honestly, there are no ways to know the parent PCI device since we don't persist mdevs and to be honest, that's not something Nova should do since it's a KVM/kernel issue.

Leaving the bug open until we figure out a good way to either document or fix this.
