    1. Default VRF devices to not having a qdisc (IFF_NO_QUEUE). Users
       can add one as desired.
    
    2. Disable adding a VLAN to a VRF device.
    
    3. Enable offloads and hardware features similar to other logical
       devices (e.g., dummy, veth)
    
    Change provides a significant boost in TCP stream Tx performance,
    from ~2,700 Mbps to ~18,100 Mbps and makes throughput close to the
    performance without a VRF (18,500 Mbps). netperf TCP_STREAM benchmark
    using qemu with virtio+vhost for the NICs
