I'd also *really* like to see a way to enable this for PFs which don't
have (and don't need) a driver. We seem to have lost that along the
way.
We've been forth and back on that.  I agree that not having any driver
just seems dangerous.  If your PF really does nothing we should just
have a trivial pf_stub driver that does nothing but wiring up
pci_sriov_configure_simple.  We can then add PCI IDs to it either
statically, or using the dynamic ids mechanism.
Or just add it to the existing pci-stub. What's the point in having a
new driver?
