John Fastabend 815cccbf10 ixgbe: add setlink, getlink support to ixgbe and ixgbevf
This adds support for the net device ops to manage the embedded
hardware bridge on ixgbe devices. With this patch the bridge
mode can be toggled between VEB and VEPA to support stacking
macvlan devices or using the embedded switch without any SW
component in 802.1Qbg/br environments.

Additionally, this adds source address pruning to the ixgbevf
driver to prune any frames sent back from a reflective relay on
the switch. This is required because the existing hardware does
not support this. Without it frames get pushed into the stack
with its own src mac which is invalid per 802.1Qbg VEPA
definition.
