> When the .remove() callback for a PF is called, SR-IOV support for the
> device is disabled, which requires unbinding and removing the VFs.
> The VFs may be in-use either by the host kernel or userspace, such as
> assigned to a VM through vfio-pci.  In this latter case, the VFs may
> be removed either by shutting down the VM or hot-unplugging the
> devices from the VM.  Unfortunately in the case of a Windows 2012 R2
> guest, hot-unplug is broken due to the ordering of the PF driver
> teardown.  Disabling SR-IOV prior to unregister_netdev() avoids this
> issue.
