This patch configures HW to strip 802.1Q header if found in a
receiving packet. The stripped VLAN ID and TCI information is
passed on to software via CQE_RX. Also sets netdev's 'vlan_features'
so that other HW offload features can be used for tagged packets.
This offload feature can be enabled or disabled via ethtool.
Network stack normally ignores RPS for 802.1Q packets and hence low
throughput. With this offload enabled throughput for tagged packets
will be almost same as normal packets.
Note: This patch doesn't enable HW VLAN insertion for transmit packets.

There are duplicate NODE_ID macro definitions. Move all of them to
nic.h for usage in nic and bgx driver and introduce nic_get_node_id()
helper function.
This patch also fixes 64bit mask which should have been ULL by
reworking the node calculation.

This patch adds support for the Cavium ThunderX network controller.
The driver is on the pci bus and thus requires the Thunder PCIe host
controller driver to be enabled.
