  There is a logical error in igb_uio/compat.h when define pci_num_vf().
Only CONFIG_PCI_IOV enabled, this function could be defined.

This patch fix the following error for linux-2.6.32.63:
CC [M]  /root/dpdk-source/build/build/lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/igb_uio/igb_uio.o
/root/dpdk-source/build/build/lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/igb_uio/igb_uio.c: In function ‘show_max_vfs’:
/root/dpdk-source/build/build/lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/igb_uio/igb_uio.c:75: error: implicit declaration of function ‘pci_num_vf’

This patch will make RHEL6 build failed.

The root cause is that RHEL-based kernel is slightly different with 
upstream kernel.
It has some functions (pci_num_vf, kstrtoul, etc) which don't exist in 
upstream
longterm kernel.

For better compatibility, IMHO it is distinguishing RHEL-based kernel 
and upstream one.
Using macro like:
```
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2, 6, 34) && \
     !(defined(RHEL_RELEASE_CODE) && RHEL_RELEASE_CODE >= 
RHEL_RELEASE_VERSION(6, 3))

static int pci_num_vf(struct pci_dev *dev)
  {
```

But this is RHEL-specified fix. For other distros, if they have some 
problem, we should
hack it in the same way.

Thanks and regards,
Jincheng Miao

Yes it seems that the functions are stub-defined in RHEL if CONFIG_PCI_IOV
is not defined.

Yes we have to handle the RedHat difference.
