Adjusting iproute2 utility to support new macvlan link type mode called
"source".
Example of commands that can be applied:
ip link add link eth0 name macvlan0 type macvlan mode source
ip link set link dev macvlan0 type macvlan macaddr add 00:11:11:11:11:11
ip link set link dev macvlan0 type macvlan macaddr del 00:11:11:11:11:11
ip link set link dev macvlan0 type macvlan macaddr flush
ip -details link show dev macvlan0

+not sent out externally. Broadcast frames get flooded to all other bridge
+ports and to the external interface, but when they come back from a reflective
+relay, we don't deliver them again. Since we know all the MAC addresses, the
+macvlan bridge mode does not require learning or STP like the bridge module
+does.
+.sp
+.B passthru
+- allows takeover of the underlying device and passing it to a guest using

+mode and it inherits the mac address from the underlying device and sets it in
+promiscuous mode to receive and forward all the packets.
