====================
sfc: Enabling EF10 Vf's, set up vswitching and bind the SFC driver to the VF's
This set of patches makes way for the implementation of EF10
SR-IOV driver starting with some cleanup code.
NIC specific SR-IOV functions are moved to their own header
and netdev_ops are made generic instead of being NIC specific
Next in line comes the patch to enable VF's using sriov_configure.
VEB vswitching hierarchy is set up next followed by patches to
prepare sfc driver to bind to enabled VF's
This is followed by patch to support use of shared RSS contexts
which makes VF's use shared RSS contexts in all cases.
Patch series ends with a patch to bind the sfc driver to the
enabled VF's which creates network interfaces corresponding to
the VF's.
Coming up soon are the patches to set_vf_mac, set_vf_config,
set_vf_vlan, vf_spoofcheck, etc.
These patches have been tested with and without CONFIG_SFC_SRIOV.
In the case of CONFIG_SFC_SRIOV=y enabling of VF's using
sriov_configure is also tested. The enabled VF's bind to the
installed sfc driver succesfully to create network interfaces.
In the case of CONFIG_SFC_SRIOV=n enabling of VF's using
sriov_configure returns the correct error message:
"Function not implemented".
