Subject: [RFC PATCH V2 1/2] net/core/ethtool: New Commands to Configure IOV
	features

The only currently supported method of configuring the number of VFs
is through the max_vfs module parameter.  This method is inadequate to
support scenarios in which the user might wish to have varying numbers
of VFs per PF.  There is additional support for drivers that want to
partition some driver resources to additional net devices and for
configuring the number of Tx/Rx queue pairs per VF.
