Greetings,

Following patches are intended to support SR-IOV capability in the
Linux kernel. With these patches, people can turn a PCI device with
the capability into multiple ones from software perspective, which
will benefit KVM and achieve other purposes such as QoS, security,
and etc.

The Physical Function and Virtual Function drivers using the SR-IOV
APIs will come soon!

Major changes from v6 to v7:
1, remove boot-time resource rebalancing support. (Greg KH)
2, emit uevent upon the PF driver is loaded. (Greg KH)
3, put SR-IOV callback function into the 'pci_driver'. (Matthew Wilcox)
4, register SR-IOV service at the PF loading stage.
5, remove unnecessary APIs (pci_iov_enable/disable).

Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) capability defined by PCI-SIG
is intended to enable multiple system software to share PCI hardware
resources.  PCI device that supports this capability can be extended
to one Physical Functions plus multiple Virtual Functions. Physical
Function, which could be considered as the "real" PCI device, reflects
the hardware instance and manages all physical resources. Virtual
Functions are associated with a Physical Function and shares physical
resources with the Physical Function.Software can control allocation of
Virtual Functions via registers encapsulated in the capability structure.

SR-IOV specification can be found at
http://www.pcisig.com/members/downloads/specifications/iov/sr-iov1.0_11Sep07.pdf

Devices that support SR-IOV are available from following vendors:
