Presenting multi-function devices behind a switch hierarchy as a single function device

In one embodiment, a computer system, comprises at least one host node, at least one input/output node coupled to the host node, at least one multi-function device coupled to the input/output node via a switch, and a middle manager processor comprising logic to block an enumeration process in a host node for the multi-function devices behind the switch hierarchy, initiate an enumeration process for the multi-function devices in a manager processor separate from the host node, store a routing table for the switch hierarchy in a memory module coupled to the manager processor, and allocate, in the manager processor, endpoint device resources to the host node.
