The second part of my patch series to fix the handling of addr_assign_type for random MAC addresses. This contains the trival changes from random_ether_addr() to new eth_hw_addr_random() and code to reset the state to NET_ADDR_PERM as soon as the MAC get changed via .ndo_set_mac_address where eth_mac_addr wasn't used. Resend due to send with too long recipients list. Sorry! Thanks to Joe

From: Amos Kong <akong at redhat.com> Currenly mac is programmed byte by byte. This means that we have an intermediate step where mac is wrong. Third patch introduced a new vq control command to set mac address, it's atomic. V2: check return of sending command, delay eth_mac_addr() V3: restore software address when fail to set hardware address V4: split eth_mac_addr, fix error handle

Some deivces do not free the old tx skbs immediately after it has been sent (usually in tx interrupt). One such example is virtio-net which optimizes for virt and only free the possible old tx skbs during the next packet sending. This would lead the pktgen to wait forever in the refcount of the skb if no other pakcet will be sent afterwards. Solving this issue by introducing a new flag
