Add a known issue to warn that PF reset event/request is not
handled by any VF drivers till 2.2, and which should be fixed
in the future.

   As the l3fwd example application requires this info, the i40e vector
   driver must be disabled to benefit of the packet type with i40e.
 
+* Some (possibly all) VF drivers (e.g. i40evf) do not handle any PF reset
+  events/requests in VF driver, that means VF driver may not work after a
+  PF reset in host side. The workaround is to avoid triggering any PF reset
+  events/requests on host side, or wait future fixes.
