Till we get used to the terminology...
Can we also have SF = "Sub Function" mentioned in the docs or comments?

Are we sure about the definition?
I remember seeing SF = Scalable Function somewhere else (maybe from Intel)

That complicates it. But if they mean the same thing, let's pick one.

I think "Sub Function" and "Virtual Function" are easy to understand
for everybody.
I suggest picking these two for comments above.
