Subject: [net-next 0/5][pull request] 40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2016-01-08

This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf only.

Mitch adds a useful error message and return value when the VFs are being
reset, since there is a brief window of time when the VF cannot be
configured because they do not have a VSI to configure.  Also made a driver
change to allow the user to specify a zero MAC address for VFs, which
causes the existing MAC address to be removed and allows the VF to use a
random address (like libvirt).

Sowmini Varadhan from Oracle adds similar functionality/fix to i40e that
was added to ixgbe earlier.  The fix attempts to look up the MAC address
in the Open Firmware on systems that support it and use IDPROM on SPARC
if no OF address is found.

Anjali provides a fix the code path so that we do not call skb_set_hash()
if the feature is disabled.

Jesse removes a device ID that has never been productized and there are
no plans to use it, so just remove it.

The following are changes since commit 24759daa018f0fc8cccebc89d3dee0953e73785a:
