[Qemu-devel] [RFC v2 PATCH 3/4] net: model specific announcing support

[Jason Wang]

This patch introduce a function pointer in NetClientInfo which is
called during self announcement to do the model specific announcement
such as sending gratuitous packet. Previous method is kept when model
specific announcing fails or without it.

The first user would be virtio-net.
