We currently just update the HMP NIC info when the last bit of macaddr
is written. This assumes that guest driver will write all the macaddr
from bit 0 to bit 5 when it changes the macaddr, this is the current
behavior of linux driver (e1000/rtl8139cp), but we can't do this
assumption.
The macaddr that is used for rx-filter will be updated when every bit
is changed. This patch updates the e1000/rtl8139 nic to update HMP NIC
info when every bit is changed. It will be same as virtio-net.
