Could do with some more details here, like explaining that it means the
we no longer run the NIC in promiscuous mode and the guest only receives
packets destined for it.

Not sure it needs to be configurable? No harm, I guess.

Any way to re-jig that so the grepable text is all on one line?

Should have a warning here.

Also, no need for the extra variable or the case, is there?

I'd prefer:

#define VIRTIO_NET_CMD_ALLOC_MAC_TABLE 1
#define VIRTIO_NET_CMD_SET_MAC_TABLE   2

Also, could do with some comments here to note e.g.:

  - alloc before set
  - subsequent allocs will fail
  - table limited to PAGE_SIZE (hmm, who's PAGE_SIZE?)
  - format of the table

Cheers,
Mark.
