Subject: [PATCH V3 net-next 0/3] Control VF link state

These patches add API and implementation that lets the admin to configure the link 
state of the VF / SRIOV  eSwitch vPORT. Basically, it has three states

Auto - VF link state reflects the PF link state (default)

Up - VF link state is up, traffic from VF to VF works even if
the actual PF link is down

Down - VF link state is down, no traffic from/to this VF, can be of
use while configuring the VF

Rony and Or.

changes from V2:
 - removed extra asterisks from comments in rtnetlink.c 
 - fixed two mis-alignments done by patch 1/3 in netdevice.h and rtnetlink.c

changes from V1:
 - added missing initialization in rtnl_fill_ifinfo for the linkstate field,
   pointed out by Ben Hutchings

changes from V0:
 - added missing part to the iproute2 patch which has the modification
   to the link show which display the VF link info (sorry for the spam).

Rony Efraim (2):
  net/core: Add VF link state control
  net/mlx4: Add VF link state support
