      Description of problem:
      Currently we need to setup pcie root port's mem-reserve property if we want to hot-plug the non-prefetchable PF/VF whose memory bar > 2MP into the domain

      Considering that hot-plugging a PF/VF into domain is a basic use case, we expect to expose pcie-root-port's mem-reserve property in upper-layer products.

      How reproducible:
      100%

      Steps to Reproduce:
      (1) Choose a non-prefetchable + memory bar size> 2M PF for testing

      # lspci -v -s 0000:1a:00.1
1a:00.1 Ethernet controller: Solarflare Communications SFC9220 10/40G Ethernet Controller (rev 02)
        Subsystem: Solarflare Communications SFN8522-R2 8000 Series 10G Adapter
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 363, NUMA node 0, IOMMU group 34
        I/O ports at 4000 [size=256]
        Memory at 9d800000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8M]
        Memory at a6800000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]

        Kernel modules: sfc

      (2) start a Q35 + OVMF domain

      # virt-install --machine=q35 --noreboot --name=rhel93 --memory=4096 --vcpus=4 --graphics type=vnc,port=5993,listen=0.0.0.0 --boot=uefi --network bridge=switch,model=virtio,mac=52:54:00:00:93:93 --import --noautoconsole --disk path=/home/images/RHEL93.qcow2,bus=virtio,cache=none,format=qcow2,io=threads,size=20 --osinfo detect=on,require=off

      (3) hot-plug a XL710 PF into domain

      # /bin/virsh attach-device rhel93 /tmp/device/0000:1a:00.1.xml

      (4) check if the SFC9220 PF can be hot-plug into the domain

      # ifconfig  <--- There is not any output about SFC9220 PF info

      （5）If we can setup pcie-root-port's mem-reserve value to 16M, the SFC9220 PF can be hot-plugged into the domain successfully.

      The detailed test step is in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2055123#c31

      Actual results:
      Failed to setup pcie-root-port's mem-reserve option via libvirt domain xml

      Expected results:
      We can setup pcie-root-port's mem-reserve option via libvirt domain xml
