I don't see this change in the patch, I see no-clearing of mlx4_priv
in __mlx4_unload_one - please clarify, also is this patch
based/targeted on the net or net-next tree?

The patch fixes couple of EEH recovery failures on PPC PowerNV
platform:

   * Release reserved memory regions in mlx4_pci_err_detected().
     Otherwise, __mlx4_init_one() fails because of reserving
     same memory regions recursively.
   * Disable PCI device in mlx4_pci_err_detected(). Otherwise,
     pci_enable_device() in __mlx4_init_one() doesn't enable
     the PCI device because it's already in enabled state indicated
     by struct pci_dev::enable_cnt.
   * Don't clear struct mlx4_priv instance in mlx4_pci_err_detected().
     Otherwise, __mlx4_init_one() runs into kernel crash because
     of dereferencing to NULL pointer.

With the patch applied, EEH recovery for mlx4 adapter succeeds on PPC
PowerNV platform.
