Title:
  Unbind not working as expected

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I am trying to unbind a PCI device I received a kernel Oops. I was following instructions described in this KVM document:
  http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/How_to_assign_devices_with_VT-d_in_KVM

  When I get to the unbind step:
  echo 0000:01:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.0/driver/unbind

  In Raring I got a kernel Oops. Please note at this point I am not
  running the kvm guest, just trying to unbind the PCI device. I do have
  VT-d enabled in the bios and a processor that supports IOMMU. This
  problem is repeatable and appears to be isolated to the unbind
  command.

  However, in Saucy, I do not get a kernel oops, but executing unbind as
  root puts back into non-root user account. After going back as root, I
  am not able to perform the next step to bind the device.

  root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# echo 0000:01:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pci-stub/bind
  bash: echo: write error: No such device
