This patch adds mainly structures and APIs prototype changes
in order to give support for qede slowpath/fastpath support
for the same.

Today, interfaces are working in vlan-promisc mode; But once
vlan filtering offloaded would be supported, we'll need a method to
control it directly [e.g., when setting device to PROMISC, or when
running out of vlan credits].
This adds the necessary API for L2 client to manually choose whether to
accept all vlans or only those for which filters were configured.

Device statistics can be gathered on-demand. This adds the qed support for
reading the statistics [both function and port] from the device, and adds
to the public API a method for requesting the current statistics.

Physical link is handled by the management Firmware.
This patch lays the infrastructure for attention handling in the driver,
as link change notifications arrive via async. attentions,
as well the handling of such notifications.
This patch also extends the API with the protocol drivers by adding
registered callbacks which the protocol driver passes to qed in order
to be notified of async. events originating from the FW/HW.

This patch adds to the qed the support to configure various L2 elements,
such as channels and basic filtering conditions.
It also enhances its public API to allow qede to later utilize this
functionality.

This patch adds a public API for a network driver to work on top of QED.
The interface itself is very minimal - it's mostly infrastructure, as the
only content it has after this patch is a query for HW-based information
required for the creation of a network interface [I.e., no actual
protocol-specific configurations are supported].
