Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] veth: Added attribute to set maximum receive size on veth interfaces

Currently veth drops all packet larger then the mtu set on the receiving
end of the pair. This is inconsistent with most hardware ethernet drivers.
This patch adds a new driver attribute to set the maximum size of received
packet to make it possible to create configurations similar to those
possible with (most) hardware ethernet interfaces.
