The conflict what I mean is for example, vf1 set filter for address A while vf2 set filter for address B, then both VFs will receive A and B which is not expected.
But if the only issue for receive unexpected multi-cast packet is just a performance impact then I agree with most of patch, 
one more comment is we may need to reset IXGBE_VMOLR_ROMPE if nb_entries = 0, which is the case to clear all multi-cast filter.
