Probably it is implicit, but is better for us to mention few examples use cases here something like,

Admin queue is an infrastructure to support use cases like:
a. SIOV devices life cycles management (create, destroy, query, configure)
b. SR-IOV VF device/resource management (SR-PCIM)
c. May be transport

Above intermixing of SIOV and SR_IOV is very confusing.
Can you please drop it and have simpler examples like above?
