They will
have concern why VM can have such privilege (like promisc mode). But I need
to check as I know there is some mechanism now to make a VM privileged.
From iproute2's man:
<--
trust on|off - trust the specified VF user. This enables that VF user
can set a specific feature which may impact security and/or performance.
(e.g. VF multicast promiscuous mode)

So yes, it is possible to get PF features upstream'd into the kernel
without having a specific PF into DPDK.
