Any plans to support bnx4 and igb with this feature? Any ETA?

Dave,

Please also add this patch to your net-next queue.

Subject: [PATCH] xen/pciback: Add flag indicating device has been assigned by Xen

Device drivers that create and destroy SR-IOV virtual functions via
calls to pci_enable_sriov() and pci_disable_sriov can cause catastrophic
failures if they attempt to destroy VFs while they are assigned to
guest virtual machines.  By adding a flag for use by the Xen PCI back
to indicate that a device is assigned a device driver can check that
flag and avoid destroying VFs while they are assigned and avoid system
failures.
