I thought I stated the following in your earlier patch set....

(a) don't use 'set_max_vfs' ; it is not changing the max; the max
is whatever the device supports. This kind of terminology confuses
what is being done, and not descripting what is being done.
(b) this is equiv to the sriov_enable_vfs in the RFC set I sent.
-- in this set, it prevents the user trying to do more than one enable,
and that check should be done, and reject the request, which solves
one
of the complaints Alexander had.

I'll try to mind-meld your sysfs attr creation patches to mind later today
and post a new series tonight or tomorrow. Sorry, stuck in mtgs today (and
right now!),
thus the delay.

Sure. please update 3, 4 as your like, and ask greg.rose work on patch 5.

Exactly what I'm doing now.
Thanks for the initial patch split of 1 & 2.
I *think* I understand how the generic framework works for
visible/invisible attributes now works! :)

Thanks

Yinghai
