This patch was supposed to fix using a doorbell between resets when the
driver had BAR0 unmapped. We don't ever unmap the bar anymore, so this
patch shouldn't be necessary: the doorbell is already set during queue
allocation before requset_irq.

The test doesn't seem like this patch would help either. It sounds
more like you're hitting somethine else if you don't have this fix:

If you do have that fix already, I'd like to see the panic stack trace
(assuming that's what happened).
