Now we have a new Smartnic configuration that adds another physical 
function, on the DPU, that is not eswitch manager and not page manager. 
The new PF can have its own SFs and the customer can passthrough this 
Satellite PF to a VM on the DPU and give it to a user that should not 
have access to the ECPF privileged function.
As will be shown in the next patchset, the ECPF handles the Satellite PF 
and the Host PF in a similar way, using the same management framework.
Makes sense! Please respin with this in the cover letter and the
clarification in patch 2. Thanks!
