Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/3] Provide default fdb operation to allow mac filter

This is a short series that now allows mac filter programming on any
card that support IFF_UNICAST_FLT by using the existing FDB interface.

Some existing drivers that had FDB functionality usually supported
it only in SR-IOV mode.  Since that's not always enabled, and
we want to take advantage of IFF_UNICAST_FLT support, these drivers
have been converted to call the default handler when not in SRIOV mode.

John Fastabend (1):
  net: generic fdb support for drivers without ndo_fdb_<op>

Vlad Yasevich (2):
  ixgbe: Use default fdb handlers when not in VF mode.
  mlx4: Use default fdb handlers when not multifunction.
