It does so through a rather hackish sysfs entry. That interface is just intended for testing so that the exposed hardware feature can be exercised. I would like to find a generic way to expose this feature to user-space. v2 of the removes patch "Initialise adapter->vfs_allocated_count in igb_init_vf()" as it causes a panic.
