Guarantee stable and unique identifiers for PCI functions. Specifically ensure that a PCI function (virtual or physical) will always be represented by the same value as long as the IO configuration for this function (IOCDS, HCD) does not change.
Allow customers to maintain persistent configurations for PCI devices where needed. Has this functionality been contributed to systemd, udevd rules upstream? Most of the stable device names come from udev upstream symlinks & renaming. This is a planned function for kernel 4.10, which is the tentativ kernel for 17.04.
