Subject: [PATCH 0/3] support setting i40e VF MAC address from DPDK host side

It adds pre-setting i40e VF MAC addresses from DPDK PF host side, during host port initialization, by introduing a new port configuration element. It then can pre-set VF MAC addresses before any launching VFs, and the VF MAC addresses will not be random each time launching a VF.
There should be no ABI broken, as ABI changes in 'struct rte_eth_conf' has already been announced in R2.2.

  i40e: add setting VF MAC address in DPDK PF host
  i40evf: use ether interface for validating MAC address
  app/testpmd: set default MAC addresses for each VF
