Sure, but no hurry for that. It doesn't similar to the API case, so we can achieve

This change is still due to the performance issue we identified. The case is when 
many SRIOV VF running on one machine with new kernel, the interrupt would also be 
very frequently then host may decide to mask someone temporarily. This behavior 
can also be very frequently. 

My point is, I don't really care if we are using routing table. It's no more than 
provide some data/address pair in this case. But I do want to push the patch. The 
patch here is only need data/address pair, and now routing table provide it. If 
you want to change this, you can modify it after later. But it got nothing to do 
with the current patch's logic. You can simply modify it as well, as you needed in 
the future.

We just haven't implemented the full spec, but we can still cover all known 
situation now. So we can work on that later, incrementally.

Maybe, and we can do that later. 

It's somehow like the customer's demand keeping changing all the time, but we have 
to do something first and somether later, and cut some release in between. It would 
be incremental, not completely 0 or completely 1. I'd like to have some code base 
checked in first.
