Sorry, I hate to bring this up only on v3 of the patches (In the initial 
version I hadn't looked at implementation details, only at build CI, and 
hadn't gotten back to look at the later versions before other people 
commented on also-macro-level issues), but we shouldn't be determining 
which VF stats of which PF to report by scanning through all the PFs 
until we find a VF with a matching MAC address. Aside from being really 
inefficient (you shouldn't need to get a dump of all interfaces, just of 
the one interface you're interested in), also the MAC address of a 
device isn't unique (although it usually is), so you can't be guaranteed 
this is the correct VF.

Instead we need to start with the PCI address in the virDomainHostdevDef 
associated with the VF (which can be retrieved with 
virDomainNetDefActualHostdev(net)) and then learn the name of the PF, 
and what the VF# is for this VF using virPCIGetVirtualFunctionInfo(), 
(*or even better* - that function refactored to be more like 
virHostdevNetDevice() - it provides exactly what you need, but is just 
located in a file (virhostdev.c) that shouldn't be referenced from 
virnetdev.c).

Once we know the PF device name and which VF, we can get the NetlinkDump 
*only* for that device, and then directly grab the details from the 
particular VFINFO in the list, rather than relying on a match of the 
(unreliable) MAC address.

Since I already have an idea of the change I'd like to see in 
virPCIGetVirtualFunctionInfo(), let me refactor that function (and a few 
surrounding) so that they're more generally useful, and I'll Cc the 
patch for it to you so that you can use the updated function. I'll try 
to do it in the next couple days.
