This adds support for setting synthetic NIC MAC address from within Linux
guests. Before using this feature, the option "spoofing of MAC address"
should be enabled at the Hyper-V manager / Settings of the synthetic
NIC.

Thanks to Kin Cho <kcho@infoblox.com> for the initial implementation and
tests. And, thanks to Long Li <longli@microsoft.com> for the debugging
works.
