Implement promiscuous support for VF VSIs. Behaviour of promiscuous support is based on VF trust as well as the, introduced, vf-true-promisc flag. A trusted VF with vf-true-promisc disabled will be the default VSI, which means that all traffic without a matching destination MAC address in the device's internal switch will be forwarded to this VF VSI. A trusted VF with vf-true-promisc enabled will go into "true promiscuous mode". This amounts to the VF receiving all ingress and egress traffic that hits the device's internal switch. An untrusted VF will only receive traffic destined for that VF. The vf-true-promisc-support flag cannot be toggled while any VF is in promiscuous mode. This flag should be set prior to loading the iavf driver or spawning VF(s).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
