Auto -	the VF link state will reflect the PF link state

Enable - VF link stat will be always up, traffic from VF to VF can 
	 work even if PF link is down.

Disable - VF link state is down and the VF can't send/recv, e.g can be 
  	  used to suspend the link while configuring the VF.

     Why not make it initializer? And empty line is needed between the 
declaration and other code.

WBR, Sergei

b/c we followed the conventions introduced in the preceding cases of 
do_setvfinfo which we found to be OK
