It appears that not disabling a PCI device on .shutdown may lead to
a Hardware Error with particular (perhaps buggy) BIOS versions:

Fix the mlx4 driver.
This is a very similar problem to what had been fixed in:
commit
3ce421f5730c ("scsi: hpsa: disable device during shutdown")
to address https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199779.
