Now that l2 acceleration ops are in place from the prior patch, enable ixgbe to
take advantage of these operations.  Allow it to allocate queues for a macvlan
so that when we transmit a frame, we can do the switching in hardware inside the
ixgbe card, rather than in software.

Neil, I'm fairly sure I can simplify this patch further. I'll be able
to take a shot at it Tuesday if you don't mind waiting.

I can resubmit the series then and preserve your signed-off on at least
the first patch. Seem reasonable?
