Should just use eth_mac_addr() here.

Not sure, but it might have been more appropriate to implement
change_rx_flags() for this ... but set_rx_mode() is probably correct
given the next patch.

I'd prefer just to vdev->config->set() directly here. set_mac_address()
isn't really appropriate.

The current behaviour is PROMISC, right?

So, by not setting this flag you get PROMISC anyway?

Does that suggest we need a feature flag for this, or make zero reflect
the current host behaviour ... i.e. change the bit to S_CHASTE ?

(Chaste is the antonym to promiscuous, apparently :-)

> +#define VIRTIO_NET_S_ALLMULTI	4	/* All-multicast mode */

An issue here is that the LINK_UP bit is controlled by the host, but the
PROMISC and ALLMULTI are controlled by the guest - i.e. they can race.

Suggest giving the top 8 bits to the guest and keeping the bottom 8 bits
for the host.

Agree with Anthony on this, much rather we continued using the #defines.

Cheers,
Mark.
