From: Amos Kong <akong@xxxxxxxxxx>
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.
