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.
