I think someone mentioned a long time ago that a VRF is not an
interface/driver/net_device but rather a separate routing table with a
dedicated set of interfaces, iirc :-) :-)
In the latter model, if you wanted to dump a VRF table, you'd only
lock that table, and walk it, instead of holding up other VRFS
sorry, could not resist my i-told-you-so moment :-P
