Hi Ram,

Thanks for the ack.  But afd24ece5c76af87f6fc477f2747b83a764f161c has
one more change of moving 
pci_write_config_word(dev, pos + PCI_SRIOV_NUM_VF, total) to sriov_enable().

This change is required so that we set the PCI_SRIOV_NUM_VF only
during sriov_enable.

So we should not revert the entire commit, we can just add this change.
