[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 0/2] mac programming over macvtap

[Amos Kong]

This patchset introduces a QMP event and a monitor command.
The event is used to notify management when rx-filter
configuration is changed by guest. Management can use the
new monitor command to query rx-filter information, and
sync the changes to macvtap devices.

There maybe exist an uncontrollable delay, guests normally expect
rx-mode updates immediately, but it's another separate issue, we
can investigate it after Libvirt work is done.

Patches are based on Michael's patchset [1], you can also find patches
in my github [2].
