This is for the Multi vPorts feature of MANA driver, which allows one VF to 
create multiple vPorts (NICs). They have the same PCI device and same VF 
serial number, but different MACs. 

So we put the change in one patch to avoid distro vendors missing this 
change when backporting the MANA driver.
