[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 4/5] net/mlx5: use Netlink to enable promisc/allmulti

[Nelio Laranjeiro <nelio.laranjeiro@6wind.com>]

VF devices are not able to receive promisc or allmulti traffic unless it
fully requests it though Netlink.  This will cause the request to be
processed by the PF which will handle the request and enable it.

This requires the VF to be trusted by the PF.
