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".
