Add functionality for the VF to request up to 3 additional MAC filters. This is done using existing E1000_VF_SET_MAC_ADDR message, but with additional message info - E1000_VF_MAC_FILTER_CLR to clear all unicast MAC filters previously set for this VF and E1000_VF_MAC_FILTER_ADD to add MAC filter. Additional filters can be added only in case if administrator did not set VF MAC explicitly and allowed to change default MAC to the VF. Due to the limited number of RAR entries reserve at least 3 MAC filters for the PF. If SRIOV is supported by the NIC after this change RAR entries starting from 1 to (RAR MAX ENTRIES - NUM SRIOV VFS) will be used for PF and VF MAC filters.

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.
