When using a VDPA device, it's important to ensure that the MAC address is correctly set. Add a new parameter in qemu cmdline to enable this check, default value is false The usage is: .... -netdev type=vhost-vdpa,vhostdev=/dev/vhost-vdpa-0,id=vhost-vdpa0,check-mac=true\ -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=vhost-vdpa0\ ....
