    net: group address list and its count · 31278e71
    Jiri Pirko authored
    This patch is inspired by patch recently posted by Johannes Berg. Basically what
    my patch does is to group list and a count of addresses into newly introduced
    structure netdev_hw_addr_list. This brings us two benefits:
    1) struct net_device becames a bit nicer.
    2) in the future there will be a possibility to operate with lists independently
       on netdevices (with exporting right functions).
    I wanted to introduce this patch before I'll post a multicast lists conversion.
