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.
