Below I'll paste the output of how initially the topology looks like for our

If the devlink_port objects are present (as in switchdev mode), there
should also be vport nodes represented. It is NOT a requirement for
a queue to have a vport as it's ancestor.

Thanks! How did you know that my preferred method of reading 
hierarchies is looking at a linear output!? 😕

Anyway. My gut feeling is that this is cutting a corner. Seems 
most natural for the VF/PF level to be controlled by the admin
and the queue level by whoever owns the queue. The hypervisor
driver/FW should reconcile the two and compile the full hierarchy.
