I should have the sysfs-level patches done & posted today.
Need another day or 2 to get a driver refactored to use it (ixgbe).
Although the patches will enable per-device sriov enablement/disablement,
further thought on tools that will stack on top of it, probably will need
to augment a new pci sysfs directory that tools can find sriov devices
quicker/easier w/o traversing the entire /sys/bus/pci/devices tree
searching for a 'sriov_max_vfs' file, but, I can do that as a follow-on patch.
I'm thinking of what is done now with virtfn<X> linked files in the pf,
but the inverse link in a directory, like /sys/bus/pci/sriov.
Then there's the additional patches needed to do an 'all', or <DOMAIN:B:D.F>
qualified enable/disable from a per-sysfs-driver perspective. ... fun stuff!
