69 Description: This entry is used by a Unisys support script installed on the
70 guest, and triggered by a udev event. The support script is
71 responsible for enabling and disabling SR-IOV devices when the
72 PF device is being recovered in another guest.
74 Some SR-IOV devices have problems when the PF is reset without
75 first disabling all VFs attached to that PF. s-Par handles this
76 situation by sending a message to guests using these VFs, and
77 the script will disable the device. When the PF is recovered,
78 another message is sent to the guests to re-enable the VFs.
