It's certainly shorter than my text, which is nice.  But I think it
still has too much spec-ese and not enough explanation.  How about:

	help
	  I/O Virtualization is a PCI feature supported by some devices
	  which allows them to create virtual devices which share their
	  physical resources.

	  If unsure, say N.

This is still wrong.  If the 'break' condition is not hit, pdev is
pointing to garbage, not to the last pci_dev in the list.
