Why do we want the extra step #3? The user already indicated they want
a mdev via #1
I have the same question for the PF and VF cases, why doesn't a mdev
get created automatically when the VF is probed? Why does this need
the guid stuff?
The guid stuff was intended for, essentially, multi-function devices
that could be sliced up, I don't think it makes sense to use it for
single-function VF devices like the ICF driver.
Overall the guid thing should be optional. Drivers providing mdev
should be able to use another scheme, like devlink, to on demand
create their mdevs.
