I don't quite get this remark, isn't not supporting PRI on VFs kind of
useless? What is the story here?

This remark is trying to explain why attaching an iopf-capable hwpt to a
VF is not supported for now. The PCI sepc (section 10.4.2.1) states that
a response failure will disable the PRI on the function. But for PF/VF
case, the PRI is a shared resource, therefore a response failure on a VF
might cause iopf on other VFs to malfunction. So, we start from simple
by not allowing it.
