Yes, the API is used by Intel, HP, NextIO and some other anonymous
companies as they rise questions and send me feedback. I haven't seen
their works but I guess some of drivers using SR-IOV API are going to be
released soon.
My test was done with Intel 82576 Gigabit Ethernet Controller. The
product brief is at
http://download.intel.com/design/network/ProdBrf/320025.pdf and the spec
is available at
http://download.intel.com/design/network/datashts/82576_Datasheet_v2p1.pdf

Yu
