Note that VEPA mode is a characteristic of the PF, correct? and the PF
resides in the host kernel. Also, as I wrote you earlier, I do see many
schemes where a VF spawned in the host kernel IS very useful, and as
such I'd be happy to continue the discussion on the approach suggested
by Dave and Stephen, can you provide a pointer? (thanks).
Or.
