sorry this came in just as i was finsihing up for the day and firday was a
company day.
i just applied the patch on my dev env.
when i do the mac is set to the value i set on the qemu command line.
i am able to bring up the interface in the guest and i can successfully ping
the host so setting
only the mac seams to be sufficent to allow the vdpa interface to be used in a
guest.
i tested using an unmodifed alpine linux image for the guest and appied the
patch
to qemu commit e90ef02389dc8b57eaea22b290244609d720a8bf which was the had of
master when i cloned qemu a few days ago.
