I don't see any driver changes in this patch, are we sure this doesn't break any
existing drivers given that this defaults to false?
Obviously, the safe call would be to invert the logic, such that it defaults to
VFs being supported, though I clearly do prefer the opt-in.
Also, in C this always defaults to false, whereas in Rust we have the choice to
make it true by default, hence in C we'd need to invert the semantics, which is
not desirable either.
