Before we switch the VF data structure storage mechanism to a hash, introduce new accessor functions to define the new interface. * ice_get_vf_by_id is a function used to obtain a reference to a VF from the table based on its VF ID * ice_has_vfs is used to quickly check if any VFs are configured * ice_get_num_vfs is used to get an exact count of how many VFs are configured We can drop the old ice_validate_vf_id function, since every caller was just going to immediately access the VF table to get a reference anyways. This way we simply use the single ice_get_vf_by_id to both validate the VF ID is within range and that there exists a VF with that ID. This change enables us to more easily convert the codebase to the hash table since most callers now properly use the interface.

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.
