Subject: [PATCHv2 net-next 0/3] sunvnet: add jumbo frames support

This patch set updates the sunvnet driver to version 1.6 of the VIO protocol
to support per-port exchange of MTU information and allow non-standard MTU
sizes, including jumbo frames.

Using large MTUs shows a > 4X throughput improvement Linux-Solaris
and > 8X throughput improvement Linux-Linux.

Changes from v1:
	- fix brace formatting per Dave Miller <davem@...emloft.net>

David L Stevens (3):
  sunvnet: upgrade to VIO protocol version 1.6
  sunvnet: allow admin to set sunvnet MTU
  sunvnet: generate ICMP PTMUD messages for smaller port MTUs
