    net: convert unicast addr list · ccffad25
    Jiri Pirko authored
    This patch converts unicast address list to standard list_head using
    previously introduced struct netdev_hw_addr. It also relaxes the
    locking. Original spinlock (still used for multicast addresses) is not
    needed and is no longer used for a protection of this list. All
    reading and writing takes place under rtnl (with no changes).
    
    I also removed a possibility to specify the length of the address
    while adding or deleting unicast address. It's always dev->addr_len.
    
    The convertion touched especially e1000 and ixgbe codes when the
    change is not so trivial.
