This message explains the failure reason better:
"SR-IOV not advertised by guests on the host supporting isolation"

The negotiation process runs from the latest to oldest. If the host is 5, your code
will fail before trying v6.0, and log:
"Invalid NVSP version 60000 (expected >= 60001): isolation supported"
This will make user think the NVSP version is 6.0.
Since you will let the NIC fail and cleanup, there is no harm to check the version
after negotiation. And this case is unexpected from a "normal" host. So I suggest
move the check after negotiation is done, then we know the actual host nvsp
version that causing this issue. And we can bring the accurate info to host team
for better diagnosability.
Please point out this invalid version is caused by the host side, like this:
"Invalid NVSP version 0x50000 (expected >= 0x60001) from the host with isolation support"
Also please use "0x%x" for hexadecimal numbers.

Please log the msg type:
"Ignore VF_ASSOCIATION msg from the host supporting isolation"
