virtio_net: Add a MAC filter table
Make use of the MAC control virtqueue class to support a MAC filter table. The filter table is managed by the hypervisor. We consider the table to be available if the CTRL_RX feature bit is set. We leave it to the hypervisor to manage the table and enable promiscuous or all-multi mode as necessary depending on the resources available to it.

92 * Control the MAC filter table.

94 * The MAC filter table is managed by the hypervisor, the guest should
95 * assume the size is infinite. Filtering should be considered
96 * non-perfect, ie. based on hypervisor resources, the guest may
97 * received packets from sources not specified in the filter list.
98 *
99 * In addition to the class/cmd header, the TABLE_SET command requires
100 * two out scatterlists. Each contains a 4 byte count of entries followed
101 * by a concatenated byte stream of the ETH_ALEN MAC addresses. The
102 * first sg list contains unicast addresses, the second is for multicast.
103 * This functionality is present if the VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_RX feature
104 * is available.
