This provides the required vxlan bridging function but poses a
scalability problem with using a separate vxlan netdev for each vni.

if I remember correctly this issue was the main reason David Ahern
put netdev on diet. Sounds like no more fun at netconf ;)

oh, it still needs a diet ...

 Even if the netdev went on diet, a netdev per vni for vxlan deployments is just too much overhead.
