== SRU Justification ==
IBM reports that When doing SRIOV if they unload VFs they will see a warning
that is coming from the fix for bugzilla: Bug 146479 (LP1625318).

Commit 0fc690a7c3f is not in mainline as of yet, and was a clean pick from linux-next.
Commit 0fc690a7c3f is also needed in Zesty, but will be SRU'd seperatly, since Z needs
 a prereq commit.

== Fix ==
commit 0fc690a7c3f7053613dcbab6a7613bb6586d8ee2

    PCI: Disable VF decoding before pcibios_sriov_disable() updates resources


== Regression Potential ==
The primary patch is only adding a call to pcibios_sriov_disable(), which
disables VF memory decoding before calling pcibios_sriov_disable().  No other major
changes are made.

== Test Case ==
A test kernel was built with this patch and tested by the original bug reporter.
The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug.
