Do we ever want to bind more than 8 multicast MAC addresses?

Theoretically we go into ALLMULTI mode (and filter on the host) when we
exceed the size of the multicast list that the device can handle. There
shouldn't be a hard limit on the number of multicast groups that
userspace can join; it just gets less efficient.

However, we believe that size to be 32 (MRVDRV_MAX_MULTICAST_LIST_SIZE
in defs.h).
