Can you elaborate on the complexities?  Assuming you enable SR-IOV on 
the host, and pass it through to the guest using the normal PCI 
passthrough mechanisms, what's the extra complexity?

Do we run into the same complexity if we have spare physical NICs on the 
host that get passed in to the guest?
