Right. Driver of eth0 should get ndo_setup_tc calls for vxlan0. Similar
thing will be needed for bonding/team. I'm taking this into
considaration for my sharedblock patchset. Work in progress:
https://github.com/jpirko/linux_mlxsw/commits/jiri_devel_shblock
Basically the eth0 driver will register a callback function that would
be called whenever filter is added/deleted on vxlan0
