Hello Matt,

There is a serie of patches pushed upstream [0] to configure virtual
functions of a SRIOV device to be "trusted".

That is to fix an issue when bonding two SRIOV nics in failover mode,
basically without that capabability set to the VFs assigned, the guest
would not have the privilege to update the MAC address of the slave.

I do think that is spec-less but needs a reno note that well
explaining how to configure it.

Is the blueprint attached to it can be considered for Pike?

The 3 patches are relatively small;
 - network: add command to configure trusted mode for VFs
 - network: update pci request spec to handle trusted tags
 - libvirt: configure trust mode for vfs
