With increasing interest for virtio, NIC have appeared that provide
SRIOV with PF appearing in the host as a virtio network device
and probably more similiar NICs will emerge.
igb_uio of DPDK or pci-pf-stub can be used to provide SRIOV,
however there are hypervisors/VMMs that require VFs, which are
to be PCI passthrued to a VM, to have its PF with network
representation in the kernel. For virtio-net based PFs,
virtio-net could do that by providing both SRIOV interface and
netdev representation.

Enable SRIOV via VIRTIO_F_SR_IOV feature bit if the device
supports it.

So I'm suprised that it needs to be enabled per device. We had:

static void vp_transport_features(struct virtio_device *vdev, u64 features)
{
         struct virtio_pci_device *vp_dev = to_vp_device(vdev);
         struct pci_dev *pci_dev = vp_dev->pci_dev;

         if ((features & BIT_ULL(VIRTIO_F_SR_IOV)) &&
                         pci_find_ext_capability(pci_dev, 
PCI_EXT_CAP_ID_SRIOV))
                 __virtio_set_bit(vdev, VIRTIO_F_SR_IOV);
}

And I had used this driver for SRIOV virtio-pci hardware for more than 
one year.

Thanks
