The VSWITCH requires 3 sequential device numbers, but there is no 
requirement that they being with an even address.  (That was a hardware 
requirement of OSA-1s.)  If you intend to share the OSA with other 
partitions, you will need additional UAs.

The OAT is managed by the adapter itself when using QDIO in response to 
instructions from the device drivers.  OSA/SF can still be used, if 
desired, to look at the OAT and the adapter statistics.
