qemu:virtio-net: Add additional MACs via a filter table (Alex Williamson)
Create a filter table and allow the guest to populate it with the MAC class control commands. We manage the size and usage of the filter table including enabling promiscuous and all-multi modes as necessary. The guest should therefore assume the table is infinite. Eventually this might allow us to bind directly to a hardware NIC and manipulate a physical MAC filter. The specifics of the TABLE_SET command are documented in virtio-net.h. Separate buffers in the same command are used for unicaste and multicast addresses for priority and sychronization. With this we can export the VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_RX feature bit.
