This would cause the PF driver to kick an error message to the log, and back to the VF driver. Since the VF driver has not really done anything naughty, let's not punish it. Don't check for MAC address overrides on the delete operation, just make sure it's a valid address. This keeps us from spamming the log with confusing errors.
