> All the VFs VSIs can decide whether to connect to the legacy VEB/VEPA or
> the floating VEB. When connect to the floating VEB a new floating VEB is
> created. Now all the VFs need to connect to floating VEB or legacy VEB,
> cannot connect to both of them. The PF and VMDQ,FD VSIs connect to
> the old legacy VEB/VEPA.
> 
> All the VEB/VEPA concepts are not specific for FVL, they are defined in the
> 802.1Qbg spec.
