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.
