The code before the fix tag also has the same problem. If we really want
backport then let's find out the very first commit which exhibits this
problem.

But I wonder the actual impact w/o such fix. If there is no hot-remove
possible for those non-PCI devices the context entry will be leaved
enabled until the machine is off. Then this fix is nice-to-have then
probably no need to backport?
