[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH v6 3/3] ixgbe, ixgbevf: Add new mbox API to enable MC promiscuous mode

From: Hiroshi Shimamoto <h-shimamoto at ct.jp.nec.com>

The limitation of the number of multicast address for VF is not enough
for the large scale server with SR-IOV feature.
IPv6 requires the multicast MAC address for each IP address to handle
the Neighbor Solicitation message.
We couldn't assign over 30 IPv6 addresses to a single VF interface.

The easy way to solve this is enabling multicast promiscuous mode.
It is good to have a functionality to enable multicast promiscuous mode
for each VF from VF driver.

This patch introduces the new mbox API, IXGBE_VF_SET_MC_PROMISC, to
enable/disable multicast promiscuous mode in VF. If multicast
promiscuous mode is enabled the VF can receive all multicast packets.

With this patch, the ixgbevf driver automatically enable multicast
promiscuous mode when the number of multicast addresses is over than 30
if possible.

PF only allow to enbale VF multicast promiscuous mode if the VF is trusted.
If not trusted, PF returns an error to VF and VF will fallback the previous
behavior, that only 30 multicast addresses are registered to the filter.
