Bug Description
Brief Description
-----------------
After allocating VFs by system command, sysadmin still needs to set MAC address for each VF by ip link command. If a lot of VFs are allocated such as 64 VFs, it will be tedious to set the MAC address or sysadmin needs to write a script. It will be better that StarlingX can set the MAC address automatically for the VFs.
Severity
--------
Mayjor
Steps to Reproduce
------------------
1.Set up StarlingX AIO Simplex
2. system host-lock controller-0
system host-if-modify -m 1500 -n sriov1 -d datanet1 -c pci-sriov -N 64 --vf-driver=vfio controller-0 ens801f1
system host-unlock controller-0
ip link show ens801f1
3. sysadmin needs to use ip link command to set the MAC address
sudo ip link set ens801f1 vf 0 mac 9e:fd:e6:dd:c1:01
sudo ip link set ens801f1 vf 1 mac 9e:fd:e6:dd:c1:02
……
sudo ip link set ens801f1 vf 63 mac 9e:fd:e6:dd:c1:64
Expected Behavior
------------------
It will be better that StarlingX set the MAC address automatically.
Actual Behavior
----------------

By default, the mac address is first set to 0, but it will be assigned automatically by the system once the VF is instantiated.
