After another breakdown of my usual testbed I went to ppc64el with an Emulex to 
continue tests.
Never should have trusted in x86 right :-)

# Prep VFs and attach
$ echo 4 | sudo tee /sys/bus/pci/devices/0005\:01\:00.0/sriov_numvfs

$ sudo modprobe vfio-pci
$ lspci -n -s 0005:01:01.3
0005:01:01.3 0200: 10df:e228 (rev 10)

$ cat VF-5.1.1.3.xml

$ virsh attach-device z-test VF-5.1.1.3.xml


While the Emulex card I have struggles with being a proper VF, it is still 
enough (for now) to continue debug.
[  864.164676] be2net 0005:01:01.3: MSIx enable failed
[  864.164699] be2net 0005:01:01.3: Emulex OneConnect(Lancer) initialization 
failed
[  864.164852] be2net: probe of 0005:01:01.3 failed with error -34

If you happen to know the Emulex issue, let me know.
Maybe just some special tweak on using those devices VFs on ppc?
Otherwise I'll keep it as-is until I understood why setrlimit is used instead 
of prlimit to change the target qemu attributes.
