The patch titled
uml: improve checking and diagnostics of ethernet MACs
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
uml-improve-checking-and-diagnostics-of-ethernet-macs.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: uml: improve checking and diagnostics of ethernet MACs
From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@xxxxxxxx>
Improve checking and diagnostics for broadcast and multicast Ethernet MAC
addresses, and distinguish between those cases in output; also make sure the
device is assigned a MAC address valid only locally to avoid collisions.
