This is int4eresting stuff. I do note that the "virt-manager" tool,
and NetworkManager, give *no* insight and detailed management
sufficient to resolve this stuff.  Note also that dancing through all
the hoops to get this working, end-to-end, is one of the big reasons
that most environments refuse to even *try* to use jumbo frames, as
helpful as they sometimes are to heavy data transfers.
