+Maximum IO events queues setup
+------------------------------
+When user sets maximum number of IO event queues for a SF or
+a VF, such function driver is limited to consume only enforced
+number of IO event queues.
+
+IO event queues deliver events related to IO queues, including network
+device transmit and receive queues (txq and rxq) and RDMA Queue Pairs (QPs).
+For example, the number of netdevice channels and RDMA device completion
+vectors are derived from the function's IO event queues. Usually, the number
+of interrupt vectors consumed by the driver is limited by the number of IO
+event queues per device, as each of the IO event queues is connected to an
+interrupt vector.
