Aha!, I got it, this is nothing related to being binary compatible etc..
I was thinking PF and VF sharing the vsi information, but no they can't,
they are in two different context. So there is no way VF can update
vsi->offset in PF (unless there is an aq for it), so the baselining done
in PF is useless since PF vsi->offset is always zero. And you need to
baseline again in VF.
So answer to my questions, this is problem for both PFs and double
baselining is not problem because PF one has no effect.
Please correct me if I am wrong :)
