FWIW, we have been pushing back on such things in VFIO, so it will
have to be very carefully security justified.

Probably since that is not standard it should just live in under some
intel-only vfio driver behavior, not in virtio land.

It is also costly to switch between pf/vf, it should not be done
pointlessly on the fast path.
