Thanks to some support by @1812, I've got a working 10GbE port for my VM and Unraid server. His recommendation was to establish the open Solarflare port as the primary NIC. This solution has allowed to me to use that 10GbE port as the network interface for Unraid. That being said, if I make any changes to the network config for it in the UI, IP, VLAN, etc. , it kernel panics like it has been. However, the network settings persist upon reboot so after manually editing the config on another computer and working through a couple kernel panics and hard resets, I have a 10GbE port for my server. Something else really cool: when I iperf3 between the port passed through to my VM and the port on my server, I get over 20Gbits/sec. Awesome.
