Ah, my bad. It is unrelated to the kernel version.

I tried passing a PF to a guest while its VFs are already passed to another 
guest and see how exactly it blows up (AER/EEH were thrown but the host 
recovered => good) but this left the device in a weird state when I could 
not use VF in a guest anymore but it seemed to keep working on the host.

It seems like the actual adapter does not reset completely when the machine 
is rebooted, I had unplug/replug power cables to fix this.
