 From API point of view it looks as different features (at least for me):
  - default MAC address is rte_eth_dev_default_mac_addr_set()
  - MAC addresses array is 
rte_eth_dev_mac_addr_add()/rte_eth_dev_mac_addr_remove()
but it is under one umbrella in NIC features (Unicast MAC filter).

May be it is my misunderstanding.
