Merge branch 'virtio_mac'
Amos Kong says: ==================== Currenly mac is programmed byte by byte. This means that we have an intermediate step where mac is wrong. Third patch introduced a new vq control command to set mac address, it's atomic. V2: check return of sending command, delay eth_mac_addr() V3: restore software address when fail to set hardware address V4: split eth_mac_addr, fix error handle V5: rebase patches to net-next tree ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
