okay good. I'd be glad to understand what setting/instrumentation has
to be made to the PF driver code to allow for VF/VF traffic to be
either internally switched by the PF HW or be forwarded to the PF
uplink for external switch doing the job (VEPA mode).
I don't think you have to explicitly allow this in the initial
patchset, just try to make it easy to patch.
Or.
