OK, you are right, I will fix this in v2, actually it will break nothing
as the code already done accessing check.
But not enough, for kernel version less than 3.8 and driver is igb_uio,
it is indeed not suitable for leaving max_vfs zero.
BTW, for kernel version less than 3.8 and driver is vfio or
pci_uio_generic, how could we fill this field?
