Mellanox's drivers are not upstream, but they are available from here: https://www.mellanox.com/page/products_dyn?product_family=26&mtag=linux_sw_drivers&ssn=3nnhohirh5htv6dnp1uk7tf487 While this configuration is not explicitly listed as supported in the release notes, Microsoft and Mellanox engineers are working on the corresponding Windows Server 2016 PF driver to support this VF driver in operation in Ubuntu guests. I file file a corresponding rebase request to pick up the PCI passthrough and other SR-IOV work done for the Hyper-V capabilities in the upstream 4.9 kernel. Only 64-bit support for Ubuntu 16.04's HWE kernel is needed.
