[PATCH] net/tap: Set locally administered bit with a fixed MAC address

[David Christensen <drc@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

When the tap driver is loaded and the user selects the optional
"mac=fixed" setting, the tap driver incorrectly uses a globally
unique EUI-48 identifier (as documented in RFC 7042) of
00:64:74:61:70:<iface_idx>. Since this is a locally generated ID,
the Local bit in the MAC address should be set to 1, resulting in
the new address 02:64:74:61:70:<iface_idx>.

Bugzilla ID: 1198

 The MAC address will have a fixed value with the last octet incrementing by one
 for each interface string containing ``mac=fixed``. The MAC address is formatted

 It is possible to specify a remote netdevice to capture packets from by adding
 ``remote=foo1``, for example::
