Subject: [RFC PATCH iproute2] ip: Add support for setting MAC and VLAN on
	hardware queues

From: Williams, Mitch A <mitch.a.williams@...el.com>

This patch adds support to the "ip" tool for setting the MAC address and
VLAN filter for hardware device queues. This is most immediately useful for
SR-IOV; for VF devices to be usable in the real world, the hypervisor or VM
manager must be able to set these parameters before the VF device is
assigned to any VM.
