Subject: RE: [PATCH 16/25] mlx4_core: boot sriov

I was also thinking about backports to older kernels without sriov at
all, which will probably be in our VMs in the near future.
For these kernels, we still want to the code to operate in slave mode...

Anyway, we can push the pci_enable_sriov() stub to the OFED backport
system as well, so I am fine.

Why not?  The sriov code provides stubs like:

static inline int pci_enable_sriov(struct pci_dev *dev, int nr_virtfn) {
	return -ENODEV;
}

if CONFIG_PCI_IOV is not enabled.
