There was a change previously to stop SR-IOV and LAG from existing on the same interface. This was to prevent the violation of LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol). The method to achieve this was to add a no-op Rx handler onto the netdev when SR-IOV VFs were present, thus blocking bonding, bridging, etc from claiming the interface by adding its own Rx handler. Also, when an interface was added into a aggregate, then the SR-IOV capability was set to false. There are some users that have in house solutions using both SR-IOV and bridging/bonding that this method interferes with (e.g. creating duplicate VFs on the bonded interfaces and failing between them when the interface fails over). It makes more sense to provide the most functionality possible, the restriction on co-existence of these features will be removed. No additional functionality is currently being provided beyond what existed before the co-existence restriction was put into place. It is up to the end user to not implement a solution that would interfere with existing network protocols.
