PCI subfunctions (SF) are anchored on the auxiliary bus. PCI physical
and virtual functions are anchored on the PCI bus. The irq information
of each such function is visible to users via sysfs directory "msi_irqs"
containing files for each irq entry. However, for PCI SFs such
information is unavailable. Due to this users have no visibility on IRQs
used by the SFs.
Secondly, an SF can be multi function device supporting rdma, netdevice
and more. Without irq information at the bus level, the user is unable
to view or use the affinity of the SF IRQs.
Hence to match to the equivalent PCI PFs and VFs, add "irqs" directory,
for supporting auxiliary devices, containing file for each irq entry.
For example:
$ ls /sys/bus/auxiliary/devices/mlx5_core.sf.1/irqs/
