I think it would be better to put this in virtfn_max_buses(), where we
clobbered numVFs in the first place.  I'd also read the original value and
restore it, e.g.,

    pci_read_config_word(dev, iov->pos + PCI_SRIOV_NUM_VF, &numvfs);
    for (nr_virtfn = 1; nr_virtfn <= iov->total_VFs; nr_virtfn++) {
      ...
    }
    pci_iov_set_numvfs(dev, numvfs);
    return max;

I know sriov_init() sets numVFs to zero before it calls virtfn_max_buses(),
but why rely on that extra knowledge?
