Sorry, I saw the date on the original commit as January 30, 2016 and
forgot we're now in 2017, so I figured that this had only recently gone
in.  Since it's actually been around since 4.6, I'll take a different
approach.  Instead of reverting, I'm going to assume that this applies
to ThunderX devices as per the comment.  I'll follow-up with a new
patch that only applies this to device IDs matching ThunderX as found
here http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/read/PC/177d  Perhaps in the meantime,
someone from Cavium will comment on which subset of those devices this
is actually relevant to.  Thanks,

Alex
