Hi Yinghai,

I'm looking at this from a distribution's point-of-view.

SRIOV is built-in but purposely disabled by the distro for a particular system via an SMBIOS check so that pci_sriov_enabled = 0.

In that case, when the system was functional, through a FW update, I will want to turn it on without having to rebuild the kernel.  ie) specifying pci=sriov=1 makes sense to test or debug in that case.

If that isn't acceptable to upstream, I would have no objection to pci=nosriov.

P.
