I was going to just make this tweak myself, but realized I'd actually
propose these changes as well:
offset -> sriov_offset
stride -> sriov_stride
vf_did -> virtfn_device (could be sriov_device as well)
and I can't really test it to make sure I get all the details right.
Can you update those and repost this?
