It should have worked. I tried just now on a system running -CURRENT as
of today (r300785) and didn't encounter any problems.
# ifconfig cxl0 up
# ifconfig cxl0 mtu 500
# ifconfig cxl0 mtu 3333
# ifconfig cxl0 mtu 7992
...
Is the cxgbe/cxl ifnet part of a lagg or bridge or something like that?
Run this while you try the ifconfig and see what ioctls are failing with
EINVAL. You may have to do a "kldload dtraceall" before this.
# dtrace -n 'fbt::*_ioctl:return /arg1 == 22/ {}'

num_vis does create multiple autonomous ifnets that share the same
physical port but it doesn't involve SR-IOV.
