The kernel calls ndo_set_rx_mode() callback supplying it will all necessary
info, such as device state flags, multicast mac addresses list and so on.
Since we have only 128 bits to communicate with PF we need to initiate
several requests to PF with small/short operation each based on input data.
So this commit implements following PF messages codes along with new
data structures for them:
NIC_MBOX_MSG_RESET_XCAST to flush all filters configured for this
particular network interface (VF)
NIC_MBOX_MSG_ADD_MCAST to add new MAC address to DMAC filter registers
for this particular network interface (VF)
NIC_MBOX_MSG_SET_XCAST to apply filtering configuration to filter control
register

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
