I added also additional expansion card with 2 Intel i211 NIC’s.
I want to utilize all 4 NIC’s, but I have an issue because only NIC on expansion cards are properly detected.

Seems RFKILL is missing, or could there be someting else?
The kernel 'vhost-net' options required for creating TAP devices
vpp# create tap
create tap: open '/dev/vhost-net': No such file or directory
vpp#
vpp# create tap id 1 host-if-name tap1
create tap: open '/dev/vhost-net': No such file or directory
vpp#
Only change is the kernel config loaded into 5.10.42 "make menuconfig"
So obsolete config entries are removed and new options are added with its default
The latest Intel QAT drivers make the 5.10 series Kernel crash and there was
no real and good response from Intel so far.
Today the build failed one more time by a source file moving around in the
Intel webservers. It's time to try to move the QAT functionality to the Kernel
buildin drivers.
This allows us to use kexec in the future to support fast reboots. This is more
important on physical hardware which can take 10+ minutes to POST.

All throughout the history of vyos-build, NUMA has been disabled.
It WAS enabled back in Vyatta days, so something somewhere has
accidentally turned it off - and it's ALSO mentioned explicitly
in various pieces of documentation, so it's MEANT to be on!
Note for future researchers: CONFIG_INOTIFY_STACKFS=y is provided
by a patch, so patch the kernel BEFORE running make menuconfig, or
manually put it back. If not, it'll vanish and is a wanted part of
the build.
