Commit 096335b3f983 ("mlx4_core: Allow dynamic MTU configuration for
IB ports") modifies the port VL setting.  This exposes a bug in
mlx4_common_set_port(), where the VL cap value passed in (inside the
command mailbox) is incorrectly zeroed-out:

mlx4_SET_PORT modifies the VL_cap field (byte 3 of the mailbox).
Since the SET_PORT command is paravirtualized on the master as well as
on the slaves, mlx4_SET_PORT_wrapper() is invoked on the master.  This
calls mlx4_common_set_port() where mailbox byte 3 gets overwritten by
code which should only set a single bit in that byte (for the reset
qkey counter flag) -- but instead overwrites the entire byte.

The result is that when running in SR-IOV mode, the VL_cap will be set
to zero -- fix this.
