[PATCH v8 0/3] vdpa: support set mac address from vdpa tool

[Cindy Lu]

Add support for setting the MAC address using the VDPA tool.
This feature will allow setting the MAC address using the VDPA tool.
For example, in vdpa_sim_net, the implementation sets the MAC address
to the config space. However, for other drivers, they can implement their
own function, not limited to the config space.
