PCI: Add sysfs sriov_drivers_autoprobe to control VF driver binding
Sometimes it is not desirable to bind SR-IOV VFs to drivers. This can save host side resource usage by VF instances that will be assigned to VMs. Add a new PCI sysfs interface "sriov_drivers_autoprobe" to control that from the PF. To modify it, echo 0/n/N (disable probe) or 1/y/Y (enable probe) to: /sys/bus/pci/devices/<DOMAIN:BUS:DEVICE.FUNCTION>/sriov_drivers_autoprobe Note that this must be done before enabling VFs. The change will not take effect if VFs are already enabled. Simply, one can disable VFs by setting sriov_numvfs to 0, choose whether to probe or not, and then re-enable the VFs by restoring sriov_numvfs.
