[PATCH 0/3] vbus: venet macvlan rt netlink changes

[Patrick Mullaney <pmullaney@novell.com>]

(Applies to alacrityvm.git/master:a725f9950)

This series changes the venet macvlan device such that it can
be created via rt netlink and no longer requires any extensive
changes to the macvlan device itself. The first patch removes
prior changes to the macvlan device introduced in the alacrityvm
tree and also implements the changes needed for creation and
management via rt netlink. The subsequent patches(2 and 3) are
changes to the macvlan device for GRO support and for type
specific release. These 2 patches don't appear to be upstream.
If desired and approved, I'll regenerate these last 2 for
net-next.
