Public bug reported: "The igbvf driver supports 82576-based virtual function devices that can only be activated on kernels that support SR-IOV." It's also useful in virtual machines that have these VF devices assigned to them.
Right now, only server-flavord kernels include this driver, which is mildly inconvenient.
