In what cases today so we have multiple PPAs per port?  (The VLAN hack is
a PPA overload and not a real PPA.)

Sorry, I should have said "per devinfo". The cases that this comes up in are cases where the chip vendor puts multiple ethernet ports on a single PCI function. Marvell Yukon 2 chips can do this, and so can devices from Mellanox. I'm faced with this problem with a very real device that has this concern.
