[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 5/6] ether: allow setting mac address

[Stephen Hemminger]

Allow setting the default Ethernet address used on device.
The underlying drivers allow it but the DPDK was blocking any
attempts to change Ethernet address on device.

For most devices, this is just the same as filling in address
in mac address table entry 0, but for some devices this requires
special override.
