The SR-IOV spec section 3.7.4 says that the Smallest Translation Unit and
the Invalidate Queue Depth fields in the Virtual Function's ATS capability
are hard-wired to 0. So we need some special handling when enabling the ATS
capability for the Virtual Function.

Table 3-26: ATS Capability Register
-------------+-----------------------------------------+---------------+--------------
Bit Location | PF and VF Register Differences From ATS | PF Attributes | VF Attributes
-------------+-----------------------------------------+---------------+--------------
| Smallest Translation Unit (STU) | |
20:16 | Hardwired to 0 for VFs. | ATS | RO
| PF value applies to all VFs. | |
-------------+-----------------------------------------+---------------+--------------
| Invalidate Queue Depth | |
28:24 | Hardwired to 0 for VFs. | ATS | RO
| Depth of shared PF input queue. | |
-------------+-----------------------------------------+---------------+--------------
