OK, where should I read about this sentence?

"It is only required to have valid STU programmed on PF to enable
 ATS on VFs. Adding code to write the first VFs STU to a PF's STU
 when PFs ATS is not enabled."

>From spec:
"Smallest Translation Unit (STU) - This value indicates to the Function the minimum number of
4096-byte blocks that is indicated in a Translation Completions or Invalidate Requests. This is a power of
2 multiplier and the number of blocks is 2STU. A value of 0 0000b indicates one block and a value of
1 1111b indicates 231 blocks (or 8 TB total)

For VFs, this field must be hardwired to Zero. The associated PF's value applies.
Default value is 0 0000b"

And enable bit doesn't have any sentence about STU.
