Documentation: PCI: endpoint/pci-endpoint-cfs: Guide to use SR-IOV

Browse source 
Add Documentation to help users use PCI endpoint to create virtual
functions using configfs. An endpoint function is designated as a
virtual endpoint function device when it is linked to a physical
endpoint function device (instead of a endpoint controller).

The <EPF Device> directory can have a list of symbolic links

be created by the user to represent the virtual functions that are bound to
the physical function. In the above directory structure <EPF Device 11> is a
physical function and <EPF Device 31> is a virtual function. An EPF device once
it's linked to another EPF device, cannot be linked to a EPC device.
