== SRU Justification ==
In the course of enabling SR-IOV on Azure, it was discovered that the Mellanox
Driver with 16 or more vCPUs fails. Mellanox has submitted patch 1/2 in theis set
upstream to correct this problem. This is commit 6ed63d845e7866ff1a0eac9f0fa554fdf2c64e1d
in linux-next.
Commit 4a9b0933bdfcd85da840284bf5a0eb17b654b9c2(Patch 2/2 in this set) in mainline allows PCI domain
numbers starts with 1, and also unique on the same VM. So names, such as
VF NIC names, that include domain number as part of the name, can be shorter than that
based on part of bus UUID previously. The new names will also
stay same for VMs created with copied VHD and same number of
devices.
This is needed for SR-IOV in Azure.
Both commits are clean pick into Xenial.
