Update documentation describing sysfs node that could help to
configure isolation strategy for users in the user space. And
describing sysfs node that could read the device isolated state.

This is not a "node" it is just a file.

I do not understand this, sorry.  What do you mean by "that your service
can tolerate"?

So 1 means "not working"?  This seems odd, perhaps you can rephrase this
a bit better?

You only describe 2 files here, yet your patch had 3 sysfs files.
Please always document everything.

it means the user can tolerable reset frequency, because the reset will 
interrupt services.

1 means the device is unavailable. 0 means the device is available.
