Make use of the MAC_TABLE control virtqueue class to support a
MAC filter table.  The size of the filter table defaults to 16
entries and can be adjusted via the mac_entries module parameter.
Note, the original hardware address does not count towards this.

As with most real hardware, unicast addresses have priority in
the filter table so we can avoid enabling full promiscuous
until both unicast and multicast address overflow.
