2.6.38 includes support for macvlan/macvtap 'passthru' mode that allows
assigning
SR-IOV VFs to a KVM guest via macvtap/virtio.
It is not possible to support live migration using direct assignment of
VF's to a guest,
but 'passthu' assignment makes this possible.
Enabling this feature requires the following patch to iproute2 that
allows creating macvlan
device in 'passthru' mode.

Looks like this patch is still marked as 'Awaiting upstream'.
Could you apply this patch and it would be great if a version of
iproute2 is released for 2.6.38.
Thanks
Sridhar
