I think it is good to use same variable name for same reason, above uses
"mac_addr" here "macaddr", please pick one.

And perhaps field comment can be removed, it is not adding any extra
information.

If config_mac_address() is not defined, req.result will be undefined.
You should give initial value to req.

This is redundant, rte_kni.h has something similar.

Can do memset here perhaps?

Also need to update kni_check_request_register(), it only checks
change_mtu and config_network_if pointers to decide if ops registered,
since there are more ops now, that logic needs to be updated.

Can include rte_ether.h, and use ETHER_ADDR_LEN here.

Can replace "6" with ETHER_ADDR_LEN

Two things here:

1) Providing rte_kni_ops interface during creating a KNI interface links
KNI interface a backing DPDK port. And kni_ops applied on to this port.

For the case "config_mac_address", it is obvious that what we want to do
on to DPDK port. Why not provide a default implementation for this
function in librte_kni (via this patch) and set it by default.
Application still can overwrite it if it has something else to do. This
saves effort for others.

2) Can you please update sample application with this new kni_ops, again
in this patch?
