This patchset introduces a QMP event and a monitor command. The event is used to notify management when mac-table configuration is changed by guest. Management can use the new monitor command to query mac-table information, and sync the changes to macvtap devices.
There maybe exist an uncontrollable delay, guests normally expect rx-mode updates immediately, but it's another separate issue, we can investigate it after Libvirt work is done. Patches are based on Michael's patchset [1], you can also find patches in my github [2].
