+Virtualization Enhancements and SR-IOV
+--------------------------------------
+
+The ``nvme`` device supports Single Root I/O Virtualization and Sharing
+along with Virtualization Enhancements. The controller has to be linked to
+an NVM Subsystem device (``nvme-subsys``) for use with SR-IOV.
+
+A number of parameters are present:
+
+``sriov_max_vfs`` (default: ``0``)
+ Indicates the maximum number of PCIe virtual functions supported
+ by the controller. Specifying a non-zero value enables reporting of both
+ SR-IOV and ARI (Alternative Routing-ID Interpretation) capabilities
+ by the NVMe device. Virtual function controllers will not report SR-IOV.
+
+``sriov_vq_flexible``
+ Indicates the total number of flexible queue resources assignable to all
+ the secondary controllers. Implicitly sets the number of PF-private
+ resources to (max_ioqpairs - sriov_vq_flexible).
+
+``sriov_vi_flexible``
+ Indicates the total number of flexible interrupt resources assignable to
+ all the secondary controllers. Implicitly sets the number of PF-private
+ resources to (msix_qsize - sriov_vi_flexible).
+
+``sriov_max_vi_per_vf``
+ Indicates the maximum number of virtual interrupt resources assignable
+ to a secondary controller. The default 0 resolves to the number of private
+ interrupt resources configured for PF.
+
+``sriov_max_vq_per_vf``
+ Indicates the maximum number of virtual queue resources assignable to
+ a secondary controller. The default 0 resolves to the number of private
+ queue resources configured for PF.
