When the PF does an FLR the hardware go back to its default state, the SR-IOV configuration is gone and the VFs disappears from the bus. Then the restore state function of the kernel reset code would bring the SR-IOV PF configuration back. The hardware also have a privately owned SR-IOV related configuration in the PF configuration space. This configuration is used to configure the VFs resources.
