The limitation of the number of multicast address for VF is not enough
for the large scale server with SR-IOV feature. IPv6 requires the multicast
MAC address for each IP address to handle the Neighbor Solicitation
message. We couldn't assign over 30 IPv6 addresses to a single VF.
This patch introduces the new mailbox API, IXGBE_VF_UPDATE_XCAST_MODE,
to update multicast mode of VF. This adds 3 modes;
- NONE only L2 exact match addresses or Flow Director enabled
- MULTI BAM and ROMPE set
- ALLMULTI BAM, ROMPE and MPE set
If a guest VF user wants over 30 MAC multicast addresses, set IFF_ALLMULTI
to request PF to update xcast mode to enable VF multicast promiscuous mode.
On the other hand, enabling VF multicast promiscuous mode may affect
security and performance in the network of the NIC. Only trusted VF can
enable multicast promiscuous mode. The behavior of untrusted VF is the
same as previous version.

For 82599 and x540 VFs and PF share the same RSS Key. Therefore we will
return the same RSS key for all VFs.
Support for other devices will be added later.

Add this new command for 82599 and x540 devices only. Support for other
devices will be added later.
82599 and x540 VFs and PF share the same RSS redirection table (RETA).
Therefore we just return it for all VFs.
For 82599 and x540 RETA table is an array of 32 registers (128 bytes) and
the maximum number of registers that may be delivered in a single VF-PF
channel command is 15. On the other hand VFs of these devices can be
configured to have up to 4 RSS queues. Therefore we will "compress" the
RETA by transferring only 2 bits per entry and thereby it will take only 8
registers (DWORDS) to transfer the whole VF RETA.
Thus this patch does the following:
- Adds a new API version (to specify a new commands set).
- Adds the IXGBE_VF_GET_RETA command to the VF-PF commands set.

This patch addresses several issues in regards to the combination of DCB
and SR-IOV. Specifically it allows us to send information to the VF on
which queues it should be using.

This change allows us to add a mailbox versioning API. This will allow us
to determine the features supported by the VFs from the PF. For example we
will be implementing a version 1.1 API for the VF that will indicate that
it can support us enabling Jumbo frames as the VF will support buffer
chaining.
