Yes, this is absolutely a problem. 82576 virtual functions require MSI-X
interrupt support to function properly. You didn't mention what your guest OS
is but the guest OS must support MSI-X interrupts. Even if it does have MSI-X
support the attempt to allocate the vectors may fail for some reason. If that
happens then the VF will not function correctly.
