Add support for configuring secondary unicast addresses. Unicast
addresses take precendece over multicast addresses when filling
the exact address filters to avoid going to promiscous mode.
When more unicast addresses are present than filter slots,
unicast filtering is disabled and all slots can be used for
multicast addresses.
Is there any easy way to use it for VRRP? It would be really great to have
two IP addresses on the same interface, each with a different hw address.
mac-vlans should do this for you..with our without the driver patch.
I'm afraid mac-vlans is not a solution here. Having 2x more interfaces
(ex. 2000 instead of 1000) makes everything (especially routing,
firewalling and QoS) much more complicated. It would be nice to have
something like "ip addr add a.b.c.d/24 dev vlan32 hwaddress
aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff".
BTW: is it possible to stack mac-vlans ontop of .1Q vlans?
