I still prefer keeping the simple vzalloc for the non isolated VMs, because simple code path usually means more robust.=20 I don't know how much time difference between the two, but in some cases=20 we really care about boot time?=20 Also in the multi vPort case for MANA, we potentially support hundreds of=20 vPorts, and there will be the same number of synthetic NICs associated with= =20 them. So even small time difference in the initialization time may add up. Thanks, - Haiyang
