Joerg,

Before applying this change on a 3.18-rc7 kernel layered on a
RHEL 7.0 root disk, I was able to reproduce the memory
leak that Alex reported when powering on/off a VM w/ a PCI
device assigned to it.

After applying this change, I don't see the memory leak anymore.
Instrumentation shows the new code is being invoked during power on
of the VM.

Looks good.

Thanks!
