v6: Fix dev->mutex lock missing on get_config().
    Rebased on master (trivial conflict in NEWS).
    Reduce when possible line length in doc.

    Otherwise I migrated to travis-ci.com and tried to trigger a build
    with clang + DPDK, but to no avail, job is forever in queue.
    Local build with clang was without issue.

v5: Improve doc following Kevin's comments.

v4: fix Kevin's and Ilya's comments.

v3: fix Ilya's comments.

v2: fix 0-day bot issues in 2/2.

Hello Ilya,

Following your suggestion, here is a small patch adding the ability to configure the
MAC address of DPDK VF representors.  As said off-ML, I've used the options column
instead of other_configs, as it allows avoid having the DPDK representor concept
bleed out of netdev-dpdk.

There is only a small compilation fix on your first patch (rte_eth_addr type instead of
eth_addr), otherwise it is the same.

Thank you for your help and reading,
