If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jack Morgenstein commit 6e5224224faa50ec4c8949dcefadf895e565f0d1 upstream. The VF administrative mac addresses (stored in the PF driver) are initialized to zero when the PF driver starts up. These addresses may be modified in the PF driver through ndo calls initiated by iproute2 or libvirt. While we allow the PF/host to change the VF admin mac address from zero to a valid unicast mac, we do not allow restoring the VF admin mac to zero. We currently only allow changing this mac to a different unicast mac. This leads to problems when libvirt scripts are used to deal with VF mac addresses, and libvirt attempts to revoke the mac so this host will not use it anymore. Fix this by allowing resetting a VF administrative MAC back to zero.
