====================
Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2016-03-29

This series contains fixes to ixgbe and ixgbevf.

Tushar fixes an issue which was introduced with an earlier commit, where
hardware register RAR0 default MAC address does not get set properly.

Alex fixes two issues, first being the VXLAN port number should be stored
in network order instead of in host order.  The second fix corrects the ATR
code to handle IPv6 extension headers.  The issue was ATR code was assuming
that it would be able to use tcp_hdr for every TCP frame that came through,
but that is not the case, which resulted in bad filters being setup.

Mark fixes a use of usleep_range() to udelay() in the case where a lock
is being held.

Stefan fixes the offline self tests where ndo_stop() should be used instead
of ndo_close(), which causes IFF_UP to be cleared and interface routes get
removed.

Emil fixes the error case where we need to return an error when a MAC
address change is rejected by the PF.  This helps prevent the user from
modifying the MAC address when the operation is not permitted.

Sridhar provides three fixes for ixgbe, all dealing with traffic class
offload handling.
