That sounds plausible for many uses, but it may also be useful to have
the virtual devices. Having 802.1Q VLANs be 'real' devices has worked out
quite well, so I think there is a place for a 'mac-vlan' as well.

Virtual devices are pretty much the only solution we have right now, both in terms of available control points, and in terms of mapping to similar existing solutions (like wireless and its multiple net devices).

I believe Patrick is working on cleaning up mac-vlans and converting them
to use the new netlink configuration API, so there should be a patch for
these hitting the list shortly.

Thanks,
Ben
