    qed: PF to reply to unknown messages · 54fdd80f
    Yuval Mintz authored
    If a future VF would send the PF an unknown message, the PF today would
    not send a reply. This would have 2 bad effects:
      a. VF would have to timeout on the request.
      b. If VF were to send an additional message to PF, firmware would mark
         it as malicious.
    
    Instead, if there's some valid reply-address on the message - let the PF
    answer and tell the VF it doesn't know the message.
