From that perspective a sysfs-based interface is ideal since it is
directly scriptable.
As is anything ethtool or netlink based, since we have 'ethtool'
and 'ip' for scripting.
I'm not picky...whatever works.
To me the act of creating virtual functions seems generic enough (I'm
aware of SR-IOV capable storage controllers, I'm sure there is other
hardware as well) that ethtool/ip don't really seem like the most
appropriate tools for the job.
I would have thought it would make more sense as a generic PCI
functionality, in which case I'm not aware of an existing binary tool
that would be a logical choice to extend.
