Looks good to me.

Is there any value in a "patch" vport having a MAC address?  Since it's
not a network device there's no way to configure an IP address on it, so
can the MAC ever get used for anything?  (Actually I guess the same
question applies to GRE vports.  I see that Ian has the same question.)
