It is mentioned in Parav's patchset that this will be coming in a
subsequent patch to his vdpa tool.

So I think kernel has two options:
- require a mac when device is created, we supply it to guest

Yes, the driver should always set VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC and provide a MAC -
either random or whatever configured using the vdpa too.

A questions here, I think current mlx5 vdpa works for VF only. So I think the VF should have a given MAC? If yes, can we use that MAC?

Thanks
