> Support SR-IOV capability. By default, this feature is not enabled and the SR-IOV device behaves as traditional PCI device. After it's enabled, each Virtual Function's PCI configuration space can be accessed using its own Bus, Device and Function Number (Routing ID). Each Virtual Function also has PCI Memory Space, which is used to map its own register set.

I'd like to see this Kconfig help text enhanced too. Telling a
user that PCI_IOV enables Single Root I/O Virtualization isn't
that helpful, but explaining what SR-IOV actually gets you _is_
helpful.

	This option allows device drivers to enable Single Root I/O
	Virtualization.  Each Virtual Function's PCI configuration
	space can be accessed using its own Bus, Device and Function
	Number (Routing ID). Each Virtual Function also has PCI Memory
	Space, which is used to map its own register set.

Thanks.
