I've just got a new machine and I'm still converging on the kernel config. Anyway, since I don't have enabled any of SRIO-V drivers, my kernel doesn't have NET_DEVLINK enabled (i.e. virNetDevGetFamilyId() returns 0). But this makes nodedev driver ignore all intefaces, because when enumerating all devices via udev, the control reaches virNetDevSwitchdevFeature() eventually and subsequently virNetDevGetFamilyId() which 'fails'. Well, it's not really a failure - the virNetDevSwitchdevFeature() stub simply returns 0. Also, move the call a few lines below, just around the place where it's needed.
