The physical PKey table can contain both full and partial memberships of the same Pkey. This is needed to serve 2 VFs that are granted access to the same PKey, albeit with different membership types.
Example use case -- RDMA or IPoIB network storage (file/block) server running on a VM and clients running on other VMs. Some of the client VMs may be located on the same hypervisor node as the server, and we want the clients to use limited partition such that they can't talk to each other on the storage partition.
