Please Jose, better describe your use case in order to have the right answer.

The standard SR-IOV use case is to use a recent ixgbe driver from kernel.org 
or from sourceforge.net for the PF on the host. Then use ixgbevf from DPDK in 
the guest.
It should work.
It is documented in chapter 9 (IXGBE/IGB Virtual Function Driver) of the 
programmer's guide:
