Subject: [net-next PATCH v2 6/8] ixgbe: allow RAR table to be updated in promisc mode

From: John Fastabend <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 11 Apr 2012 23:57:43 -0700

This allows RAR table updates while in promiscuous. With
SR-IOV enabled it is valuable to allow the RAR table to
be updated even when in promisc mode to configure forwarding
