A host based switching entity like a linux bridge or OVS redirects these frames

directed transmits to the corresponding VFs. To enable directed transmit, skb
metadata dst is used to pass the VF id and the frame is requeued to call the PFs
transmit routine.

ending  with "lets talk on it @ netdev", did we?

Or.
