Subject: [PATCH] virtio_net: Allow setting the MAC address of the NIC

Many physical NICs let the OS re-program the "hardware" MAC
address.  Virtual NICs should allow this too.

Rusty, you've already applied this to your patch queue, but that version
won't apply cleanly after the MAC and VLAN filtering patches I just sent
for net-next-2.6 (just diff context changes).  This version should apply
cleanly, so either drop the original and apply this after rebase, or
maybe it should just go directly into net-next-2.6?  Thanks,

Alex
