Subject: qeth: VNIC Characteristics support
Patch-mainline: never (kmsg is SLES only)
References: bsc#1061024 FATE#323301

Summary:     qeth: VNIC Characteristics support
Description: Add support for VNIC Characteristics (VNICC). VNICCs are features
             of HiperSockets that define how packets are handled by the
             underlying network hardware. For example, if the VNICC flooding is
             configured, ethernet frames to unknown destination MAC addresses
             are received.

Upstream-Description:

             s390/kmsg: add VNIC Characteristics msg documentation

             This patch adds the documentation of VNIC Characteristics output
             to kmsg.
