A follow-up to the previous post:
We were trying to wrap a Virtual Function into macvtap so that NFVs not supporting modern NICs would still get decent performance.
The root cause of our issue was that Nova (and libvirt) require the VFs to be visible to the host OS as the network devices, which wasn't the case for us. We 'sorted' the issue by loading VF driver, i40evf in our case, manually, and after this we were able to launch VM with macvtap port.
