Max Payload Size determines both what a Function can send and what a Function
accepts. As such, it is almost always set to the lowest common denominator of
everything in the PCIe Hierarchy.
If there are Hot Plug slots, software might assume something about what might
be added in those when determining the lowest common denominator.
VFs don’t have their own setting. They use the PF value. The hypervisor
emulates that field.
