This series adds the ability for the guest to set the virtio-net device
MAC address, a new control virtqueue for setting configuration data from
the guest, and new interfaces making use of the control virtqueue for
setting RX mode options, MAC filter table entries, and VLAN filter bits.
The end result is that the virtio-net device has more of the features of
a real hardware NIC and can be configured to drop packets the guest
isn't interested in seeing.
Thanks for the comments. This version fixes the accesses to guest memory
and defining the broadcast and vlan match buffers as const. Patches 1-3
are the same as last time. Previous note about save image versions
between qemu and kvm still applies. Thanks,
Alex
