This improvement intended to allow sending of LLDP packets on an
interface even if the interface cannot support programming an extra
MAC address in order to receive LLDP messages from the attached
link peer.
vnet_hw_interface_add_del_mac_address function fails on some
'virtio' interfaces due to limitation to set MAC addresses.
Type: improvement
