Currently we write MAC address to pci config space byte by byte, this means that we have an intermediate step where mac is wrong. This patch introduced a new control command to set MAC address, it's atomic. VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_MAC_ADDR is a new feature bit for compatibility.

This patch adds the multiqueue (VIRTIO_NET_F_MQ) support to virtio_net driver. VIRTIO_NET_F_MQ capable device could allow the driver to do packet transmission and reception through multiple queue pairs and does the packet steering to get better performance. By default, one one queue pair is used, user could change the number of queue pairs by ethtool in the next patch. When multiple queue pairs is used and the number of queue pairs is equal to the number of vcpus. Driver does the following optimizations to implement per-cpu virt queue pairs: - select the txq based on the smp processor id. - smp affinity hint to the cpu that owns the queue pairs. This could be used with the flow steering support of the device to guarantee the packets of a single flow is handled by the same cpu.
