Hi All,

The following patches are to add support for DPDK applications to be
able to change the carrier state of Linux network interfaces in the
KNI kernel module.

The carrier state is changed by writing to the Linux /sys file:
/sys/devices/virtual/net/<name>/carrier, where <name> is the KNI
interface name.

These patches supercede:
