Here's an update to the patches I sent last week. The goal of this series is to add RX mode bits, MAC table filtering, and I'll follow up with VLAN filtering, so that the virtio_net device doesn't always run in promiscuous mode.
This version now uses a virtqueue for outbound commands for setting mode bits and table entries. The size of the MAC filter table can be configured by the guest at initialization. I'm no longer bloating the I/O port space of the virtnet device, in fact, I couldn't find any reason to store the RX mode bits in the status register, so I also moved those into the virtqueue channel so we have less shared data. Please comment.
