Our driver sets a mac if the HW is 00:..:00 so we need to be sure to
advertise VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC even if the HW doesn't. We also need to be
sure that virtio_net sees the VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC and doesn't rewrite the
mac address that a user may have set with the vdpa utility.
After reading the hw_feature bits, add the VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC to the driver's
supported_features and use that for reporting what is available. If the
HW is not advertising it, be sure to strip the VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC before
finishing the feature negotiation. If the user specifies a device_features
bitpattern in the vdpa utility without the VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC set, then
don't set the mac.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
