Is there anything I can do to help debug this?  Add instrumentation,
etc.?  It seems like I'm doing the simplest possible thing -- just
writing to the sysfs sriov_num_vfs file to enable VFs.

I almost think it must be related to my config somehow if nobody else
is seeing this, but at the same time, my config also seems the
simplest possible, so I don't know what I could be doing that's
unusual.
