Exactly.

  Then do we need to migrate the idx?

idx is part of "function handle". So, it should remain unchanged after 
migration.

Yes. This assert documents that a pbdev is always expected to be found 
for this "autogenerated when we create the device at destination" 
pbdev->idx - either the pbdev we are currently processing, or another 
pbdev that was "loaded" earlier with the same idx value (which came from 
the source) and inserted by post_load() into zpci_table.

No always true, as described above.

AFA I can see, simply removing pbdev->idx from zpci_table already 
"frees" the idx value for reuse. s390_pci_alloc_idx() interprets 
s->next_idx as the "next mostly likely free" idx value. It then checks 
if zpci_table has this idx; if it does, it checks idx+1, etc. until it 
doesn't.

It seems, we could add "s->next_idx = pbdev->idx;" here to make it pick 
this idx next time instead of larger values, but it's not strictly 
necessary. Do you think we should do it?
