Introduction
------------
This series is based on the RFC series submitted by Yui Washizu[1].
See also [2] for the context.
This series enables SR-IOV emulation for virtio-net. It is useful
to test SR-IOV support on the guest, or to expose several vDPA
devices in a
VM. vDPA devices can also provide L2 switching feature for offloading
though it is out of scope to allow the guest to configure such a
feature.
The new code of SR-IOV emulation for virtio-net actually resides in
virtio-pci since it's specific to PCI. Although it is written in a way
agnostic to the virtio device type, it is restricted for virtio-net
because
of lack of validation.
I forgot to prefix this as RFC. It is the first version of the series
and I'm open for design changes.
Thank you. I'll proceed with building and reviewing the patch content.
