Jiri Pirko f001fde5ea net: introduce a list of device addresses dev_addr_list (v6)
v5 -> v6 (current):
-removed so far unused static functions
-corrected dev_addr_del_multiple to call del instead of add

v4 -> v5:
-added device address type (suggested by davem)
-removed refcounting (better to have simplier code then safe potentially few
 bytes)

v3 -> v4:
-changed kzalloc to kmalloc in __hw_addr_add_ii()
-ASSERT_RTNL() avoided in dev_addr_flush() and dev_addr_init()

v2 -> v3:
-removed unnecessary rcu read locking
-moved dev_addr_flush() calling to ensure no null dereference of dev_addr

v1 -> v2:
-added forgotten ASSERT_RTNL to dev_addr_init and dev_addr_flush
-removed unnecessary rcu_read locking in dev_addr_init
-use compare_ether_addr_64bits instead of compare_ether_addr
-use L1_CACHE_BYTES as size for allocating struct netdev_hw_addr
-use call_rcu instead of rcu_synchronize
-moved is_etherdev_addr into __KERNEL__ ifdef

This patch introduces a new list in struct net_device and brings a set of
functions to handle the work with device address list. The list is a replacement
for the original dev_addr field and because in some situations there is need to
carry several device addresses with the net device. To be backward compatible,
dev_addr is made to point to the first member of the list so original drivers
sees no difference.
