Ultimately to bring multiple 10Gb bonds into a Vyatta guest.

I don't know what you're talking about, but it seems you have a better
handle than I on this VT-c stuff, so perhaps misguidedly I'll direct my
next question to you.
Is additional configuration required to make use of SR-IOV & VTq?
I don't immediateley understand how the queueing knows who is who in the
absense of eth.vlan- or if I need to for that matter.
My hope is that this is something like plug n play as long as kernel,
host & driver versions are >foo, but I haven't yet found documentation
to confirm it.
For the sake of future queries, I've come across these references so
far:
