We are already guaranteeing that aren't we? I'm assuming there is
already code in place here somewhere that prevents us from both enabling
and disabling SR-IOV from more than one thread. Otherwise how could we
hope to have any sort of consistent state?

I'm fine with us being more explicit about it if we want to be, but if
we are going to do it we should probably update all 3 spots where we
update NumVFs after init instead of just this one. Perhaps it should be
a separate patch.
