Hmmm maybe it's me, but something bugs me if a NIC driver is going to

be fixed instead if this is critical behavior?
Maybe we should be faking this out from our hotplug scripts in the
control VM, although triggering this from user space is probably a bit
of a pain. Regardless, the function can be removed from the driver if
it's too distasteful: it's only a performance 'hack' to get network
traffic more quickly redirected when migrating a VM between physical
hosts. Things won't break horribly if it's removed.
