Enabling SR-IOV causes the virtual functions to make requests to the
PF via the mailbox. Notably, E1000_VF_RESET request will happen during
the initialization of the VF. However, unless the reinit is done, the
VMMB interrupt, which delivers mailbox interrupt from VF to PF will be
kept masked and such requests will be silently ignored.
Enable SR-IOV at the very end of the procedure to configure the device
for SR-IOV so that the PF is configured properly for SR-IOV when a VF is
activated.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
