Disclaimer: I don't want this to sound rude (just that it does to me
every time I read it), this is just a question that popped in my mind.

Why don't we do it differently?  If we have a while loop with a number
starting from 1 and access(, F_OK)'ing '"virtfn%d", number' in that
loop, we'll have all those VFs sorted.  And if that's not nice enough,
we should be able to read the number of VFs from the device's
"/config" (in offset 0x10 [1]) and do a nice, clean for loop over
already known filenames.

Or am I missing something?  I just Took that from "drivers/pci/iov.c",
so this may be "Just Wrong".
