Packets destined to offloaded netdevs will be classified to FIDs in the
device and flooded in case of BUM.
The flooding table used is of type FID-offset, which allows one to
create different flooding domains for different FIDs and specify the
offset in the flooding table for each FID (not necessarily equal to FID
or VID).
Add support for this flooding table type, by exposing the configuration
of the number of tables from this type and their size.

In the newly introduced Spectrum switch ASIC, packets destined to not
offloaded netdevs will be classified to special FIDs (vFIDs) in the
device and flooded to the CPU port.
The flooding table used is of type per-FID, which allows one to create
different flooding domains for different vFIDs.
While using a simple single-entry flood table is certainly sufficient at
this point, we do plan to offload 802.1D bridges involving VLAN
interfaces, thus making this change necessary.
Add support for this flooding table type, by exposing the configuration
of the number of tables from this type and their size.

The meaning of certain parameters in the profile passed to the device
during initialization has changed, so update their documentation
accordingly.

Firmware accepts only limited number of mapping entries for MAP_FA
command. In order to prevent overflow, introduce a limit and in case the
number of entries is bigger, call MAP_FA multiple times.

Add core components of Mellanox switch driver infrastructure.
Core infrastructure is designed so that it can be used by multiple
bus drivers (PCI now, I2C and SGMII are planned to be implemented
in the future). Multiple switch kind drivers can be registered as well.
This core serves as a glue between buses and drivers.
