Hi Ivan
ixgbevf_set_default_mac_addr() could not find in our code base.
put traces at other places as suggested by you.
Log at "eth_ixgbevf_dev_init" never displayed
Rest logs displayed as shown below. I re-build the driver module and
loaded on our virtual router and rebooted the system.
1.
Logs at the time of boot up:
