That was the first thing we started looking at.
It would actually be better technically (since it would use the
back-channel between PF and VFs rather than needing an explicit virtual
network link between host/guest) but it would require work in all the
PF/VF drivers. We'd need to get support from all the driver maintainers.
The main advantage of doing it in bonding is that we'd only need to
modify the code in one place.
