Intel ICE Ethernet driver virtualization helpers

A subdirectory inside Intel's ICE Ethernet driver tree (which supports the E810 and related 100GbE controllers) that holds internal helper code for SR-IOV and virtual function support. It is not a standalone driver and does not bind to hardware on its own.

recommendation

This is not actually a driver directory; it is an internal source subdirectory of the Intel ICE 100GbE Ethernet driver that groups together virtualization-related helper code. It only makes sense as part of the parent ice driver and should be evaluated together with it rather than on its own.

codex reasoning notes (technical)

Not a driver directory: `drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/virt` is a subdirectory of the Intel ICE driver tree and, from the path/static metadata, appears to contain internal virtualization support code rather than a standalone kernel-bound hardware driver.
