Perfect.
The agent will have all static hooks for the extensions in place, like
they are used in todays agents (the modular agent was derived from
existing lb agent). The knowledge which concrete extension
implementation to chose (e.g. lb) comes from the implementation specific
manager class that is required for instantiating the modular agent. So
it is ensured that with lb you get the lb extensions, with sriov you get
the sriov extensions.
There are no plans to make extensions more "modular" (whatever this
means in this context) as well in the first round. But we can discuss
for a second stage.
Thanks
