I just posted RFC patches (kernel & qemu) out,
specifiction update will be sent when the solution
is accepted.

MST has another solution:
1. add a feature to disable mac address in pci space
2. introduce a new vq control cmd to add new mac address
   to mac filter table. (no long check n->mac in receiver_filter())

Welcome to give comments, thanks!
