Subject: [PATCH 2/2] PCI/IOV: Assume SR-IOV VFs support extended config
 space.

The SR-IOV specification requires both PFs and VFs to implement a PCIe
capability.  Generally this is sufficient to assume extended config
space is present, but we generally also perform additional tests to
make sure the extended config space is reachable and not simply an
alias of standard config space.  For a VF to exist extended config
space must be accessible on the PF, therefore we can also assume it to
be accessible on the VF.  This enables a micro performance
optimization previously implemented in commit 975bb8b4dc93 ("PCI/IOV:
Use VF0 cached config space size for other VFs") to speed up probing
of VFs.
