[one-dev] KVM SR-IOV Add-on

[Javier Fontan]

Just two comments.

The repositories are named "addon-name-of-the-addon". I think yours
could be named "addon-kvm-sr-iov". Are you ok with it? Any other idea?

I am not able to find your user in github by email. Can you give me
the github user name?

Cheers.
