There are two reasons why I think this backend is important:

- As an easy way to provide isolation between guests (private ethernet
  port aggregator, PEPA) and external enforcement of network priviledges
  (virtual ethernet port aggregator, VEPA) using the macvlan subsystem.

- As a counterpart to the vhost_net driver, providing an identical
  user interface with or without vhost_net acceleration in the kernel.
