I don't know what this discussion is about, at this point.
For better or worse, vdpa gained interfaces for provisioning
new devices. Yes the solution space was wide but it's been there
for years so kind of too late to try and make people
move to another interface for that.

Having said that, vdpa interfaces are all built around
virtio spec. Let's try to stick to that.

But the virtio spec doesn't allow setting the MAC...
I'm probably just lost in the conversation but there's hypervisor side
and there is user/VM side, each of them already has an interface to set
the MAC. The MAC doesn't matter, but I want to make sure my mental model
matches reality in case we start duplicating too much..

An obvious part of provisioning is specifying the config space
of the device.
