In cloud topology, when SR-IOV with port representors is in use
and VM is not trusted, the orchestration should set the VF mac address.
When using DPDK there is an architecture limitation to set the VF mac 
address from host (Linux tooling).
According to previous discussion (https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1215075/), 
it was agreed to add a new API in ovs-appctl for setting MAC address on port
representors.

ovs-appctl netdev-dpdk/set-mac <if_name> <mac>

Ilya Maximets (1):
  netdev-dpdk: Add ability to set MAC address.
