The VIF hotplug script (vif-real:85-97) executes ethtool -K to disable offloads. This forces host CPU to perform software segmentation, increasing CPU utilization and degrading performance for co-located VMs. VIF.other_config has zero map_keys_roles entries - all ethtool keys are writable by vm-admin."
