Use hardware locks to protect resources common to several Physical Functions. In a virtualized environment the RTNL lock only protects a PF's driver against the PFs sharing it's VMs with regard to device resources. Other PFs may reside in other VMs under other OSs, and are not subject to the lock. Such resources which were previously protected implicitly by the RTNL lock must now be protected explicitly with dedicated HW locks.
