The PCI plug/unplug will result in loading/unloading the mana ethernet device,
In mana_remove (), it calls auxiliary_device_delete() first that handles the removal
of the mana_ib device before the ethernet device is removed.

On Hyper-v, PCI ejection events are handled by pci-hyperv (in drivers/pci/controller/pci-hyperv.c)
