So, 1024 is the total vector count available in your hw?

What's misc? Why you don't show occupancy for it? Yet, it seems to be
accounted in the total (172)

Also, drop the "msix_" prefix from all, you already have parent called
"msix".

Why "size_min is not 0 here?

Okay, this means that for eth and rdma, the vectors are fully used, no
VF is instanciated?
