Is there any user-mode method to determine whether SR-IOV is enabled in the BIOS on ESXi 5.5 Host?

We are currently working on a new device with Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) capability, and we have already made a driver to support it.

But usually, the SR-IOV capability is disabled by default in the BIOS.  So we'd like to tell users whether the SR-IOV capability is enabled before our driver is installed. It's better to be a shell script or user application.

As the command "esxcfg-info" can tell us whether VT-X/AMD-V is enabled, is there any method to determine whether SR-IOV is enabled in the BIOS?

Thank you in advance.
