Subject: [PATCH 1/1] e1000: unset IFF_UNICAST_FLT on WMware 82545EM

VMWare's e1000 implementation does not seem to support unicast filtering.
This can be observed by configuring a macvlan interface on eth0 in a VM in
VMWare Fusion 5.0.5, and trying to use that interface instead of eth0.
Tested on 3.16.
