Kernel has add IFLA_EXT_MASK attribute for indicating that certain
extended ifinfo values are requested by the user application. The ip
link show cmd always request VFs extended ifinfo.
In this case, RTM_GETLINK for greater than about 220 VFs truncates
IFLA_VFINFO_LIST due to the maximum reach of nlattr's nla_len being
exceeded. As a result, ip link show command only show the truncated
VFs info sucn as:
#ip link show dev eth0
1: eth0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 ...
link/ether ...
vf 0 link/ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff ...
Truncated VF list: eth0
This patch add novf to support filter links with no VF info:
ip link show novf
v2:
- use an one word option instead of an option with on/off.
- fix the issue that break changes made for the link filter
already done for VF's.
v3:
- "novf" set vfinfo to 0 and the RTEXT_FILTER_VF flag is not added.

How to compile this.
--------------------
1. libdbm
arpd needs to have the berkeleydb development libraries. For Debian
users this is the package with a name like libdbX.X-dev.
DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which
is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley
database routines. Often this is in the db-devel package.
2. make
The makefile will automatically build a config.mk file which
contains definitions of libraries that may or may not be available
on the system such as: ATM, ELF, MNL, and SELINUX.
3. include/uapi
This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because
the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile
if you have special requirements and need to point at different
kernel include files.
