I have submitted the patch to make macvlan on PF works when SRIOV is
enabled.

That's I am trying to make it work for macvlan on VFs in host domain. I
need to add VF secondary addresses in address filter, right?

Do you have any aggregation performance comparison between multiple
macvlans on PF and single macvlan per VF in host domain? I will run some
test to figure it out. If you have some data to share that would be
great.

Thanks
Shirley
