As outlined in the Engineering Spec, Cisco is looking to chain CNIs on Pri & Sec CNI interfaces,   RH (Dan W, Doug S, Marc C) shared RH concerns with chaining on Pri-CNI interface as outlined in Cisco's Eng Spec

• Primary CNI Red Hat OVN, CNO-CNI (chained)    <----NOT SUPPORTED
• Secondary Interface CNIs Multus, MacVLAN, SR-IOV, CNO-CNI (chained). <---- SUPPORTED
