New FW/HSI (7.0):
- Added support to 578xx chips
- Improved HSI - much less driver's direct access to the FW internal
memory needed.
New implementation of the HSI handling layer in the bnx2x (bnx2x_sp.c):
- Introduced chip dependent objects that have chip independent interfaces
for configuration of MACs, multicast addresses, Rx mode, indirection table,
fast path queues and function initialization/cleanup.
- Objects functionality is based on the private function pointers, which
allows not only a per-chip but also PF/VF differentiation while still
preserving the same interface towards the driver.
- Objects interface is not influenced by the HSI changes which do not require
providing new parameters keeping the code outside the bnx2x_sp.c invariant
with regard to such HSI chnages.
Changes in a CNIC, bnx2fc and bnx2i modules due to the new HSI.

This is the new FW HSI blob and the relevant definitions without logic changes.
It also included code adaptation for new HSI. New features are not enabled.
New FW/HSI includes:
- Support for 57712 HW
- Future support for VF (not used)
- Improvements in FW interrupts scheme
- FW FCoE hooks (stubs for future usage)

The CNIC driver controls BNX2 hardware rings and resources used by
iSCSI. Most hardware resources for iSCSI are separate from those
used for ethernet networking.
iSCSI uses a separate MAC address and IP address. The CNIC driver
creates a UIO interface to handle the non-offloaded packets such as
ARP, etc in userspace.
