Subject: [PATCH v2 resent net-next 0/4] Provide default fdb operation to allow mac filter setting

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.

Changes since v1:
 - Restore ixgbe implementation of fdb_add since it needs to 
   enforce the limit of addresses in SR-IOV case.

Changes since RFC:
 - Removed ixgbe and mlx versions of fdb calls as recommened.
 - Added qlogic patch to use default calls when module parameter is
   not turned on.

Vlad Yasevich (4):
  net: generic fdb support for drivers without ndo_fdb_<op>
  ixgbe: Make use of the default fdb handlers.
  mlx4: Remove driver specific fdb handlers.
  qlcnic: Use generic fdb handler when driver options are not enabled.
