I totally agree, devlink seems like absolutely to wrong level and set
of interfaces to be doing this stuff.

I will not pull these changes in and I probably should have not
accepted the DCB changes from the other day and they were sneakily
leading up to this crap.

Sorry, please follow Jakub's lead as I think his approach makes much
more technical sense than using devlink for this.

Thanks.
