LSI/Broadcom lists it in their marketing literature, the idea that you
can assign drives to a VF and then that VF to a VM however it turns out
they do not publish the code that makes it work.
I was able to find some for MPT3 SAS3008 on an old repo but I can't find
any for MPT2 for SAS2008 and I was wondering if anyone has it or knows
more information about this very useful system.

The SAS2008 is quite old. Are you sure it actually supports this?
I pass the entire HBA to a single VM to act as SAN. Hardly any VM uses a full disk.

It does yes, lspci reports SR-IOV support and the marketing literature
touts it along with the SAS 2308 and 3008 etc.
