Add support for creating a MACVLAN interface in "source" mode by
specifying Mode=source in the [MACVLAN] section of a .netdev file.
A list of allowed MAC addresses for the corresponding MACVLAN can also
be specified with the SourceMACAddress= option of the [MACVLAN] section.
An example .netdev file:
[NetDev]
Name=macvlan0
Kind=macvlan
MACAddress=02:DE:AD:BE:EF:00
[MACVLAN]
Mode=source
SourceMACAddress=02:AB:AB:AB:AB:01 02:CD:CD:CD:CD:01
SourceMACAddress=02:EF:EF:EF:EF:01
The same keys can also be specified in [MACVTAP] for MACVTAP kinds of
interfaces, with the same semantics.
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
