The pcifront-end of xen is wrong. It touches somehow the device when the DomU
is starting. At that point, it resets the box hardly, if DomU has been started
already with IB driver since the box start up.
If the IB device is properly shut down (rmmod ib_mthca), pcifront-end driver
does not reset the box at DomU start up.
