SR-IOV is supported in almost all virtual hosts, including ESXi. It's up to the NIC driver to implement the capabilities. Similar to specialized variants such as DirectPath, DirectIO etc which only work in specific virtual environments. If you are running on your own dedicated hardware you often need to enable SR-IOV in the system BIOS.
There is usually a significant improvement in IO performance if you achieve a functioning SR-IOV/DirectPath which should result in reduced CPU and interrupt latency.
