    ice: Add VF promiscuous support · 01b5e89a
    Brett Creeley authored
    Implement promiscuous support for VF VSIs. Behaviour of promiscuous support
    is based on VF trust as well as the, introduced, vf-true-promisc flag.
    
    A trusted VF with vf-true-promisc disabled will be the default VSI, which
    means that all traffic without a matching destination MAC address in the
    device's internal switch will be forwarded to this VF VSI.
    
    A trusted VF with vf-true-promisc enabled will go into "true promiscuous
    mode". This amounts to the VF receiving all ingress and egress traffic
    that hits the device's internal switch.
    
    An untrusted VF will only receive traffic destined for that VF.
    
    The vf-true-promisc-support flag cannot be toggled while any VF is in
    promiscuous mode. This flag should be set prior to loading the iavf driver
    or spawning VF(s).
