Thanks to information provided by SkyShard for Question #243761 this issue can be worked around by doing:
  "sudo update-initramfs -c -k all"
after loading the driver with modprobe ixgbevf.

This loads the correct ixgbevf driver on boot - the one you installed with the modprobe command - in my case this worked with version 2.11.3
For a complete list of how to enable the sr-iov see: https://gist.github.com/CBarraford/8850424

The "Enabling Enhanced Networking on Linux Instances in a VPC" information at http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/enhanced-networking.html needs to be updated to include the line to update the init ramfs.
