Patch 1/2 adds new I/O Virtualization netlink ops:

  IOV netlink (IOVNL) adds I/O Virtualization control support to a master
  device (MD) netdev interface.  The MD (e.g. SR-IOV PF) will set/get
  control settings on behalf of a slave netdevice (e.g. SR-IOV VF).  The
  design allows for the case where master and slave are the
  same netdev interface.

  The ops currently defined are:
  	set_mac_vlan: set mac+vlan on VF
	set_port_profile: set port-profile on VF
	unset_port_profile: unset port-profile on VF

Patch 2/2 adds IOV netlink ops support to enic dynamic vnics:

  Add enic iovnl ops to support setting port-profile for dynamic vnics.  Enic
  dynamic vnics are just like normal enic eth vnics except dynamic vnics require
  an extra configuration step to assign a port-profile identifier to the
  interface before the interface is useable. Once assigned, link comes up
  on the interface and is ready for I/O.  The port-profile is used to configure
  the network port assigned to the interface.  The network port configuration
  includes VLAN membership, QoS policies, and port security settings typical
  of a data center network.
