[dpdk-dev] vmxnet3 ethernet driver

[Mukunda Naresh]

Hi All,

Need your inputs on below functions.

Vmxnet3 driver in dpdk does not have the whitelist filter for unicast mac
addresses. So addition/removal of MAC addresses using
rte_eth_dev_mac_addr_add and rte_eth_dev_mac_addr_remove will always fail
in case of vmxnet3. These functions will always return -95 (or -ENOTSUP).
