Hi Klaus,

After some discussion, we decided to prohibit in V2 the use of CMB and
PMR in combination with SR-IOV.

While the implementation of CMB with SR-IOV is relatively
straightforward, PMR is not. We are committed to consistency in CMB and
PMR design in association with SR-IOV. So we considered it best to
disable both features and implement them in separate patches.

Kind regards,
Lukasz
