Subject: [PATCH RFC 0/2] Control VF link state

Here's a suggestion for API and implementation that lets the admin to configure
the link state of the VF / SRIOV eSwitch vPORT. Basically, it has three states

Auto -	the VF link state will reflect the PF link state

Enable - VF link stat will be always up, traffic from VF to VF can 
	 work even if PF link is down.

Disable - VF link state is down and the VF can't send/recv, e.g can be 
  	  used to suspend the link while configuring the VF.

Rony and Or.
