Subject: [PATCH net 2/5] bnx2x: Correct number of MSI-X vectors for VFs

From: Michal Kalderon <michals@...adcom.com>

Number of VFs in PCIe configuration space is zero-based. Driver incorrectly
sets the number of VFs to be larger by one than what actually is feasible by
HW, which might cause later VFs to fail to allocate their MSI-X interrupts.
