    When implementing VRRP v2 using macvlan several problems were
    discovered.  VRRP is weird in that all routers participating
    in a redundant group use the same virtual MAC address.
    Macvlan is a natural driver to use for this but it doesn't
    work.  The problem is that packets with a macvlan device's
    source address are not received.
    
    The problem is actually a regression that date back almost 2 years now.
    The original problems started with:

        macvlan: implement bridge, VEPA and private mode
    
    This patches restores the original 2.6.32 behavior. Allowing multicast
    packets received with the VRRP source address to be received.
