I'm fine with however you folks want to approach this, just give me some direction.

I would just try following patch :

This allows the sfc driver to use 102 VFs, up from the current limit of 
45 VFs.

It's unfortunate that this patch isn't sufficient to allow all 127 VFs 
to be used, but whilst we wait for a new netlink api this is an 
improvement worth having.

netlink recvmsg() supports MSG_PEEK so user would get the needed size of
its buffer before calling the real recvmsg()

big blobs could be attached as skb fragments (up to 64Kbytes), but do we
really want this...
