+Virtualization Enhancements and SR-IOV (Experimental Support)
+-------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The ``nvme`` device supports Single Root I/O Virtualization and Sharing
+along with Virtualization Enhancements. The controller has to be linked to
+an NVM Subsystem device (``nvme-subsys``) for use with SR-IOV.
+
+A number of parameters are present (**please note, that they may be
+subject to change**):
+
+``sriov_max_vfs`` (default: ``0``)
+ Indicates the maximum number of PCIe virtual functions supported
+ by the controller. Specifying a non-zero value enables reporting of both
+ SR-IOV and ARI (Alternative Routing-ID Interpretation) capabilities
+ by the NVMe device. Virtual function controllers will not report SR-IOV.
+
+``sriov_vq_flexible``
+ Indicates the total number of flexible queue resources assignable to all
+ the secondary controllers. Implicitly sets the number of primary
+ controller's private resources to ``(max_ioqpairs - sriov_vq_flexible)``.
+
+``sriov_vi_flexible``
+ Indicates the total number of flexible interrupt resources assignable to
+ all the secondary controllers. Implicitly sets the number of primary
+ controller's private resources to ``(msix_qsize - sriov_vi_flexible)``.
+
+``sriov_max_vi_per_vf`` (default: ``0``)
+ Indicates the maximum number of virtual interrupt resources assignable
+ to a secondary controller. The default ``0`` resolves to
+ ``(sriov_vi_flexible / sriov_max_vfs)``
+
+``sriov_max_vq_per_vf`` (default: ``0``)
+ Indicates the maximum number of virtual queue resources assignable to
+ a secondary controller. The default ``0`` resolves to
+ ``(sriov_vq_flexible / sriov_max_vfs)``
