ah, nickel summary: no in-kernel driver w/.sriov-configure method.
if so, now I'm up to speed with you....
hmmmm....
so, that would imply we need an in-kernel, pcie-common, .sriov-
configure method
that's invoked if a driver isn't bound to a device? ... yes?
Well that was kind of the point in my question below the ---
Is that something we want to be generic? Would we want to have quirks
for the devices where we might *not* want it?
Anything that *has* a driver for the PF, should have .sriov_configure
already. Anything that doesn't have a driver can (now) use UIO to
enable SR-IOV. So we don't *have* to make it unconditionally
available...
Well, my point is more like: why put it in uio?
why not make it available via pcie, setup while/if no driver attached?
i.e., other non-uio users can use the mechanism.... like libvirt? ...
if a PF driver isn't required.
