====================
qed* : Use trust mode to override forced MAC

This patchset adds a support to override forced MAC (MAC set by PF for a VF)
when trust mode is enabled using

First patch adds a real change to use .ndo_set_vf_trust to override forced MAC
and allow user to change VFs from VF interface itself.

Second patch takes care of a corner case, where MAC change from VF won't
take effect when VF interface is down, by introducing a new TLV
(a way to send message from VF to PF) to give a hint to PF to update
its bulletin board.
