How does this interact with use of multiple queues within a single
function?  Are the specified queue numbers really interpreted as RX
queue indices or as function numbers?

Ben.

Yeah, that is ambiguous.  Would it be better if we changed the name of

the parameter to 'vf' instead of 'queue' to make it explicit?

This would give us:
$ ip link set eth1 vf 1 mac <blah>

The issue of which VF goes with which PF device can be deduced in

userspace via sysfs.

If we want to make this apply to non SR-IOV queues, then we'll add a new

parameter later.

Works for you?

OK, this sounds reasonable.

Ben.

Thanks for looking at this stuff, Ben. I appreciate it. I'll rework the patches and send them out in a few days.
