Okay, instead of NULL, a stub implementation in the header file may
suffice when CONFIG_PCI_IOV is not defined:

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

See pci_iov_virtfn_bus, pci_iov_virtfn_devfn, pci_iov_add_virtfn, or
pci_enable_sriov for other examples.
