flag. I don't see no reason to break this pattern here.

Other masters are setup from userspace, this one is set up automatically
by kernel. So the bar is higher, we need an interface that existing
userspace knows about.  We can't just say "oh if userspace set this up
it should know to skip lowerdevs".

Otherwise multiple interfaces with same mac tend to confuse userspace.

No difference, really.
Regardless who does the setup, and independent userspace deamon should
react accordingly.

If the deamon does the setup itself, it's reasonable to require that it
learns about new flags each time we add a new driver.  If it doesn't,
then I think it's less reasonable.

No need. The "IFLA_MASTER" attr is always there to be looked at. That is
enough.

Oh so if it has an master, skip it? Sorry, I misunderstood what you were
saying earlier.

Thanks, this makes sense to me.
