Our FW can support several fastpath HSI [for backward compatibility] but up
until now VFs were always configured to use latest fastpath HSI [although VF
driver might be older and use an older fastpath HSI].
For linux drivers, the differences are insignificant since driver never
utilized features that were overridden by the HSI change. But for VMs running
other operating systems this might be a problem.
In addition, eventually FW might change fastpath HSI in such a manner that
backward compatibility WILL break unless configured with proper version.
This patch fixes the issue for other operating system VMs, as well as lays
the ground work for forward compatibility in regard to the fastpath HSI.

There are linux distributions where the inbox bnx2x driver contains SRIOV
support but doesn't contain the changes introduced in b9871bcf
"bnx2x: VF RSS support - PF side".
A VF in a VM running that distribution over a new hypervisor will access
incorrect addresses when trying to transmit packets, causing an attention
in the hypervisor and making that VF inactive until FLRed.
The driver in the VM has to ne upgraded [no real way to overcome this], but
due to the HW attention currently arising upgrading the driver in the VM
would not suffice [since the VF needs also be FLRed if the previous driver
was already loaded].
This patch causes the PF to fail the acquire message from a VF running an
old problematic driver; The VF will then gracefully fail it's probe preventing
the HW attention [and allow clean upgrade of driver in VM].

Until now VFs were oblvious to the actual configured link parameters.
This patch does 2 things:
1. It enables a PF to inform its VF using the bulletin board of the link
configured, and allows the VF to present that information.
2. It adds support of `ndo_set_vf_link_state', allowing the hypervisor
to set the VF link state.

The bnx2x development team has transferred from Broadcom to Qlogic.
This patch updates some obsolete email addresses to usable ones.
The bnx2x files contain headers with legal information from
Broadcom. Qlogic Legal depratment is taking their time coming up
with their own legal info. So this patch only updates contact
information. I will follow up with a patch for the headers once I
have the required info.

When posting a message on the bulletin board, the PF calculates crc
over the message and places the result in the message. When the VF
samples the Bulletin Board it copies the message aside and validates
this crc. The length of the message is crucial here and must be the
same in both parties. Since the PF is running in the Hypervisor and
the VF is running in a Vm, they can possibly be of different versions.
As the Bulletin Board is designed to grow forward in future versions,
in the VF the length must not be the size of the message structure
but instead it should be a field in the message itself.

In this patch the SR-IOV code is segregated from the main bulk of
the bnx2x code. The CONFIG_BNX2X_SRIOV define is added to Broadcom's
Kconfig, and allows the elision of the building of all the SR-IOV
support code in the driver.
The define is dependant on the kernel CONFIG_PCI_IOV configuration
define.

The PF <-> VF Bulletin Board is a simple interface between the
PF and the VF. The main reason for the Bulletin Board is to allow
the PF to be the initiator. The VF publishes at 'acquire' stage
the GPA of a Bulletin Board structure it has allocated. The PF notes
this GPA in the VF database. The VF samples the Bulletin Board
periodically for new messages. The latest version of the BB is always
used.

The 'release' request is the opposite of the 'acquire' request.
At release, all the resources allocated to the VF are reclaimed.
The release flow applies the close flow if applicable.
Note that there are actually two types of release:
1. The VF has been removed, and so issued a 'release' request
over the VF <-> PF Channel.
2. The PF is going down and so has to release all of it's VFs.

The VF driver uses the 'q_filter' request in the VF <-> PF channel to
have the PF configure the requested rxmode to device. ndo_set_rxmode
is called under bottom half lock, so sleeping until the response
arrives over the VF <-> PF channel is out of the question. For this reason
the VF driver returns from the ndo after scheduling a work item, which
in turn processes the rx mode request and adds the classification
information through the VF <-> PF channel accordingly.

Add the 'acquire' request to VF <-> PF channel and use it at
VF probe. In the acquire request the VF driver lists the resources
it would like to have. In the response the PF either ratifies the
request, or denies it and supplies the maximum values supported.
The VF may then attempt another acquire request.
This patch adds the bnx2x_vfpf.c file which contains the
implementation of the VF to PF hardware channel.

To support probing and removing of a bnx2x virtual function
the following were added:
1. add bnx2x_vfpf.h: defines the VF to PF channel
2. add bnx2x_sriov.h: header for bnx2x SR-IOV functionality
3. enumerate VF hw types (identify VFs)
4. if driving a VF, map VF bar
5. if driving a VF, allocate Vf to PF channel
6. refactor interrupt flows to include VF
