Yep, there is a little confusion for pci_num_vf():
1. it is available when CONFIG_PCI_IOV is defined.
2. it is introduced from upstream kernel v2.6.34 (fb8a0d9)
3. it is implemented from RHEL6.0, although the kernel version is 2.6.32.
The logic of this patch is:
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2, 6, 34) && \
(!(defined(RHEL_RELEASE_CODE) && RHEL_RELEASE_CODE >=
RHEL_RELEASE_VERSION(6, 0) && defined(CONFIG_PCI_IOV)))
Firstly it detects kernel version, if it is less than 2.6.34, and it is
not RHEL-specified, then define pci_num_vf().
Secondly, it deals with RHEL-specified. If it is RHEL6.0 or later, and
CONFIG_PCI_IOV is defined. we should not define pci_num_vf(). If any of
these conditions is not reached, pci_num_vf() should be defined.
Some days ago, I setup dpdk for longterm kernel 2.6.32.63, and got error:

This problem is introduced by commit 11ba04265

igb_uio: fix build on RHEL 6.3
- pci_num_vf() is already defined in RHEL 6
- pci_intx_mask_supported is already defined in RHEL 6.3
- pci_check_and_mask_intx is already defined in RHEL 6.3

That is because longterm kernel 2.6.32.63 defined CONFIG_PCI_IOV, but it
lacks pci_num_vf(),
after above processing, pci_num_vf() is still not existed, then build fail.
My patch could work around it, and can deal with RHEL-specified kernel.
