From: Amos Kong <akong@redhat.com>

Currenly mac is programmed byte by byte. This means that we
have an intermediate step where mac is wrong.

Second patch introduced a new vq control command to set mac
address in one time.

Amos Kong (2):
move virtnet_send_command() above virtnet_set_mac_address()
virtio-net: introduce a new control to set macaddr
