valid. For example, writing a 2 to this file when sriov_numvfs
is not 0 and not 2 already will return an error. Writing a 10

What: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../driver_override
Date: April 2014
Contact: Alex Williamson <[email protected]>
Description:
This file allows the driver for a device to be specified which
will override standard static and dynamic ID matching. When
specified, only a driver with a name matching the value written
to driver_override will have an opportunity to bind to the
device. The override is specified by writing a string to the
driver_override file (echo pci-stub > driver_override) and
may be cleared with an empty string (echo > driver_override).
This returns the device to standard matching rules binding.
Writing to driver_override does not automatically unbind the
device from its current driver or make any attempt to
automatically load the specified driver. If no driver with a
matching name is currently loaded in the kernel, the device
will not bind to any driver. This also allows devices to
opt-out of driver binding using a driver_override name such as
"none". Only a single driver may be specified in the override,
there is no support for parsing delimiters.
