[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH] virtio-net: introduce a new macaddr control

[akong@redhat.com]

From: Amos Kong <akong@redhat.com>

In virtio-net guest driver, currently we write MAC address to
pci config space byte by byte, this means that we have an
intermediate step where mac is wrong. This patch introduced
a new control command to set MAC address in one time.

VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_MAC_ADDR is a new feature bit for compatibility.
