  To: netdev; +Cc: brking, jiri, linuxppc-dev, davem

Add a function that will enable changing the MAC address
of an ibmveth interface while it is still running.

Signed-off-by: Thomas Falcon <tlfalcon@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

v2:
   If h_change_logical_lan_mac fails, dev->dev_addr will not be changed.
