From: Amos Kong <akong@redhat.com>

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
in one time.

VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_MAC_ADDR is a new feature bit for compatibility.

Better to check the return of virtnet_send_command() and give a warn
like other command. Btw, need we fail back to try the old way then?

I think we should check status and return an error if the command failed.
Also, delay eth_mac_addr until after it passes.

By the way, why don't we fail the command if VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC is off?

Looked back through the history for this one.  I think the theory is that
if the guest doesn't set VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC, it means it doesn't care:
it's up to the guest.

Cheers,
Rusty.

Yes, it's necessary to check the return value of
virtnet_send_command().

In fail case, I like to return -EINVAL to userspace, because we don't
only want to set mac successfully, we also want to resolve the
addr inconsistent issue by this feature (vq cmd).

It's really a device error but I guess we can.
We probably should print a warning too.
