====================
sfc: support for cascaded multicast filtering
Recent versions of firmware for SFC9100 adapters add support for filter
chaining, in which packets matching multiple filters are delivered to all
filters' recipients, rather than only the highest match-priority filter as was
previously the case.
This patch series enables this feature and redesigns the filter handling code
to make use of it; in particular, subscribing to a multicast address on one
function no longer prevents traffic to that address reaching another function
which is in promiscuous or allmulti mode.
If the firmware does not support filter chaining, the driver will fall back to
the old behaviour.
