[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/5] ixgbe : support to add/remove a MAC address to/from a VF

[Ivan Boule]

The first patch add 2 functions to dynamically add/remove a MAC address to/from
a ixgbe VF device.
The 2 next patches fix the behaviour of the ixgbe_vf functions used in the
first patch.
The fourth patch fix the communication framework used by the VF/PF protocol.
The last patch assigns a default MAC address to a VF device, when none is
assigned by the underlying PF driver.

The last patch requires that the most recent PF/VF API version could be
negociated, and thus assumes that the following patch of Konstantin Ananyev
has been previously applied: "fix for jumbo frame issue with DPDK VF".
