This series adds infrastructure for a new control virtqueue and
makes use of it to support set_rx_mode, unicast and multicast address
lists, and supporting a hypervisor based VLAN filter. The goal is to
make the virtio-net device support more of the features of a physical
NIC and allow the hypervisor to discard packets we don't want. These
patches are intended for 2.6.30.
This version is just a rebase to current net-next-2.6.git. I'll send
Rusty an update to the patch in his queue that led to the patch
conflict, this series doesn't depend on it.
