The description no either no longer matches the patches, or you did not make the
changes that were needed based on our last discussion.
What happened to the base-device argument that you were planning to pass?
The fields that I mentioned are needed for VDP (associate/pre-associate/disassociate-flag,
VLAN ID, etc) are not there. I assume that means we should use a different
data structure for VDP, but then your description above should be updated
to state that this is no longer common for the two.
I'll follow up with a draft for VDP based on your definitions.
