Jeff,

In the same manner that vconfig does for 8021q devices, except for VID
there's a need
to let the user control on the egress qos mapping (vlan priority bits)
per VF (I don't think it
need to go per skb priority). Where for NIC HW which supports setting
the VID only, the
packets will be marked with a default priority.

Or.
