Subject: packets: New function eth_addr_mark_random().
X-Git-Url: https://pintos-os.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=344a15d937a4027cb70df497c5b4e36883d4465a;p=openvswitch

packets: New function eth_addr_mark_random().

This function is useful for turning a sequence of random bits into a valid
MAC address, which we need for generating DPIDs under Xen.
