Brett Creeley eb550f5309 virtchnl: Use pad byte in virtchnl_ether_addr to specify MAC type 
Currently, there is no way for a VF driver to specify that it wants to
change its device/primary unicast MAC address. This makes it
difficult/impossible for the PF driver to track the VF's device/primary
unicast MAC address, which is used for VM/VF reboot and displaying on
the host. Fix this by using 2 bits of a pad byte in the
virtchnl_ether_addr structure so the VF can specify what type of MAC
it's adding/deleting.

Below are the values that should be used by all VF drivers going
forward.

VIRTCHNL_ETHER_ADDR_LEGACY(0):
	- The type should only ever be 0 for legacy AVF drivers (i.e.
	  drivers that don't support the new type bits). The PF drivers
	  will track VF's device/primary unicast MAC, but this will only
	  be a best effort.

VIRTCHNL_ETHER_ADDR_PRIMARY(1):
	- This type should only be used when the VF is changing their
	  device/primary unicast MAC. It should be used for both delete
	  and add cases related to the device/primary unicast MAC.

VIRTCHNL_ETHER_ADDR_EXTRA(2):
	- This type should be used when the VF is adding and/or deleting
	  MAC addresses that are not the device/primary unicast MAC. For
	  example, extra unicast addresses and multicast addresses
	  assuming the PF supports "extra" addresses at all.

If a PF is parsing the type field of the virtchnl_ether_addr, then it
should use the VIRTCHNL_ETHER_ADDR_TYPE_MASK to mask the first two bits
of the type field since 0, 1, and 2 are the only valid values.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
