Oops, these are the leftovers of the discard changes. Will remove them 
accordingly in the next iteration. Thanks so much for catching this.

As this is related to user space interface, I am leaning towards putting
some restriction/checks for the pre-condition in the
driver.sriov_configure(), so admin would know there is something wrong
in his configuration as early as possible, instead of he failed to
creating vGPUs again and again, then he found he forgot to enable the
vGPU support.
