Title:
  [22.04 FEAT] HSCI: Multi-MAC Support (kernel part)

Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems:
  Fix Released
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Enhance HSCI (HiperSockets Converged Interface) with multi-MAC support
  and provide the corresponding tool for exploitation.

  Business value: Provide improved capabilites for KVM setups on IBM Z,
  enhance z/OS interoperation

  The initial version of HSCI supports single-MAC setups only, where only a 
single MAC can be registered for the HSCI. This will not work with regular Open 
vSwitch or MacVTap setups as used by our KVM customers, as both try to register 
add'l MACs for the KVM guests. And that will also precent z/OS <-> KVM 
co-location cases from working.
  This line item will overcome this restriction. If possible, the tooling 
should exploit multi-MAC transparently (i.e. no add'l switch required - it's 
enabled all the time).

  Affected components:
  kernel >=5.14

  Business value:
  z/OS Co-location.

  Backports need to be provided if possible for 21.10.
