8 virtual functions is not supported by the driver.  This is because the 
physical function is using the queues/interrupts from the 8th virtual function 
when 7 virtual functions are enabled.  In order to support 8 virtual functions 
the driver would have to be modified so that the physical function would not 
register any queues or a netdevice.

Thanks,

Alex
