Subject: [net-next 00/10][pull request] 1GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2018-04-25

This series enables some ethtool and tc-flower filters to be offloaded
to igb-based network controllers. This is useful when the system
configuration wants to steer kinds of traffic to a specific hardware
queue for i210 devices only.

The first two patch in the series are bug fixes.

The basis of this series is to export the internal API used to
configure address filters, so they can be used by ethtool, and
extending the functionality so an source address can be handled.

Then, we enable the tc-flower offloading implementation to re-use the
same infrastructure as ethtool, and storing them in the per-adapter
"nfc" (Network Filter Config?) list. But for consistency, for
destructive access they are separated, i.e. an filter added by
tc-flower can only be removed by tc-flower, but ethtool can read them
all.

Only support for VLAN Prio, Source and Destination MAC Address, and
Ethertype is enabled for now.

The following are changes since commit c749fa181bd5848be78691d23168ec61ce691b95:
