This bug pops up with NetworkManager on Fedora 21. NetworkManager tends to stop the interface (nicvf_stop() is called) before changing settings. In stopped state MAC cannot be sent to a PF. However, when the interface is restarted (nicvf_open() is called), we ping the PF using NIC_MBOX_MSG_READY message, and the PF replies back with old MAC address, overriding what we had after MAC setting from userspace. As a result, we cannot set MAC address using NetworkManager. This patch introduces special tracking of MAC change in stopped state so that the correct new MAC address is sent to a PF when interface is reopen.
