The ice driver currently supports virtualization using Single Root IOV, with code in the ice_sriov.c file. In the future, we plan to also implement support for Scalable IOV, which uses slightly different hardware implementations for some functionality. To eventually allow this, we introduce a new ice_vf_ops structure which will contain the basic operations that are different between the two IOV implementations. This primarily includes logic for how to handle the VF reset registers, as well as what to do before and after rebuilding the VF's VSI. Implement these ops structures and call the ops table instead of directly calling the SR-IOV specific function. This will allow us to easily add the Scalable IOV implementation in the future. Additionally, it helps separate the generalized VF logic from SR-IOV specifics. This change allows us to move the reset logic out of ice_sriov.c and into ice_vf_lib.c without placing any Single Root specific details into the generic file.

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.
