44SR-IOV requires the correct platform and OS support.
45
46The guest OS loading this driver must support MSI-X interrupts.
47
48This driver is only supported as a loadable module at this time. Intel is not
49supplying patches against the kernel source to allow for static linking of the
50drivers.
51
52VLANs: There is a limit of a total of 64 shared VLANs to 1 or more VFs.
