+SubFunction representor support
+-------------------------------
+SubFunction is a portion of the PCI device, a SF netdev has its own
+dedicated queues(txq, rxq). A SF netdev supports E-Switch representation
+offload similar to existing PF and VF representors. A SF shares PCI
+level resources with other SFs and/or with its parent PCI function.

+1. Configure SF feature::
