Subject: [PATCH V2 05/12] net: Add ndo_set_vif_param operation to serve eIPoIB VIFs

From: Erez Shitrit <erezsh@...lanox.co.il>

The Ethernet IPoIB driver enslaves IPoIB devices and uses them as
VIFs (Virtual Interface) which serve an Ethernet NIC e.g present in a 
guest OS. For each such slave that acts as a VIF, eIPoIB needs to know 
the mac and optionally the vlan uses by that NIC, the new ndo opertaion 
is used to associate the mac/vlan for that slave.
