Ursula Braun 0666eb06ab qeth: support z/VM VSWITCH Port Isolation
z/VM Virtual Switch Port Isolation allows guests on a VLAN UNAWARE
virtual switch to be isolated from other guests on the VSWITCH.
(See z/VM Apars VM64281 and VM64463).
The Linux qeth driver is affected, because it has to handle new
error codes introduced with the z/VM VSWITCH Port Isolation support.

Ursula Braun 2d921c321c qeth: improve ip_list administration after deregister failures
1. ip_list handling after deregister failure of multicast address:
   If error code "MC Address not found" is returned do not re-add
   multicast address to ip_list.
   For other error codes readd multicast address at the end of
   function qeth_delete_all_mc.
2. ip_list handling after deregister failure or normal ip address:
   If error code "IP Address not found" is returned do not re-add
   multicast address to ip list.
   This is especially important in IP address takeover scenarios,
   to enable re-takeover of a taken over IP address.
