VSIs (VFs) may send a message to the PSI (PF) for general notification or to gain access to hardware resources which requires host inspection. These messages may vary in size and are handled as a partition copy between two memory regions owned by the respective participants. The PSI will respond with fail or success and a 16-bit message code. The patch implements the vf to pf messaging mechanism above and, as the first application making use of this support, it enables the VF to configure its own primary MAC address.

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.
