Some user space depends on driver allowing sriov_totalvfs to be
enabled.  For devices which VF support depends on loaded FW we
have the pci_sriov_{g,s}et_totalvfs() API.  However, this API
uses 0 as a special "unset" value, meaning drivers can't limit
sriov_totalvfs to 0.  Change the special value to be U16_MAX.
Use simple min() to determine actual totalvfs.

I can't make sene of this sentence.  Can you explain what user space
code depends on what semantics?  The sriov_totalvfs file should show
up for any device supporting SR-IOV as far as I can tell.

Please use a PCI_MAX_VFS or similar define instead of plain U16_MAX or ~0.

Actually is there any reason why driver_max_VFs couldn't just be
initialized to the same value as total_VFs?

Also looking over the patch I don't see how writing ~0 would be
accepted unless you also make changes to pci_sriov_set_totalvfs since
it should fail the "numvfs > dev->sriov->total_VFs" check. You might
just want to look at adding a new function that would reset the
driver_max_VFs value instead of trying to write it to an arbitrary
value from the driver.

Ugh, I took me a while to understand what I meant myself...  So what I
meant is that this should generally work:

# cat .../sriov_totalvfs > .../sriov_numvfs

I.e. one should be able to "enable" the number of VFs advertised in
sriov_totalvfs.  I will rephrase!

I think I may just go with what I think Alex is suggesting and "unset"
the value to total_VFs.

Ack, the reset function plus using total_VFs as unset seems a lot
cleaner, thanks!
