Agreed.

I think the offload API discussion should consider the SR-iOV case
but we might need to discuss additional details outside of that
BoF to ensure that the BoF can keep focus on the offload API itself.
That said, I suggest we define the specific agenda once we know that
the BoF has been accepted and 2 hours have been allocated ;-)

This has already been requested.
