With increasing interest for virtio, NIC have appeared that provide
SRIOV with PF appearing in the host as a virtio network device
and probably more similiar NICs will emerge.
igb_uio of DPDK or pci-pf-stub can be used to provide SRIOV,
however there are hypervisors/VMMs that require VFs, which are
to be PCI passthrued to a VM, to have its PF with network
representation in the kernel. For virtio-net based PFs,
virtio-net could do that by providing both SRIOV interface and
netdev representation.
Enable SRIOV via VIRTIO_F_SR_IOV feature bit if the device
supports it.
