Does anyone know how network cards with support for multiple virtual interfaces (ie. anything modern) fits into this? I'd guess they get separate ifdevice_t instances (reflecting their interrupt and I/O rings)?
I wondered if there was any value in representing the fact that they all come from the same physical card in the abstraction?
It seems a little odd not to mention it given current hardware.
