Re: [libvirt] RFC exposing SRIOV PF<->VF relationships

It would be helpful to have an API that exposes the relationship

SR IOV physical functions (PFs) and virtual functions (VFs). I'm
thinking of implementing three new API calls and adding a small amount
of additional information in the node device pci device capability, as
in the attached patch. Let me know what you think.
Do we really need extra APis for this, vs exposing it in the XML ?
I'd think we either use the existing parent/child relationship. ie
munge a VF's parent link to point to the PF device, or we could just
add a new element giving the device name of the physical function.
