Merge branch 'netdevsync'
Alexander Duyck says:
====================
Provide common means for device address sync
The following series implements a means for synchronizing both unicast and
multicast addresses on a device interface. The code is based on the original
implementation of dev_uc_sync that was available for syncing a VLAN to the
lower dev.
The original reason for coming up for this patch is a driver that is still in
the early stages of development. The nearest driver I could find that
appeared to have the same limitations as the driver I was working on was the
Cisco enic driver. For this reason I chose it as the first driver to make use
of this interface publicly.
However, I do not have a Cisco enic interface so I have only been able to
compile test any changes made to the driver. I tried to keep this change as
simple as possible to avoid any issues. Any help with testing would be
greatly appreciated.
