pci_get_bus_and_slot() is restrictive such that it assumes domain=0 as
where a PCI device is present. This restricts the device drivers to be
reused for other domain numbers.
Getting ready to remove pci_get_bus_and_slot() function in favor of
pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot().
Introduce bnx2x_vf_domain() function to extract the domain information
and save it to VF specific data structure.
Use the saved domain value while calling pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot().

Once firmware indicates that a given VF is malicious and until
that VF passes an FLR all bets are off - PF can't know anything
is happening to the VF [since VF can't communicate anything to its PF].
But PF is currently still periodically asking device to collect
statistics for the VF which might in turn fill logs by IOMMU blocking
memory access done by the VF's PCI function [in the case VF has unmapped
its buffers].

When ndo_set_rx_mode() is called for bnx2x, as part of process of
configuring the new MAC address filters [both unicast & multicast]
driver begins by flushing the existing configuration and then iterating
over the network device's list of addresses and configures those instead.
This has the side-effect of creating a short gap where traffic wouldn't
be properly classified, as no filters are configured in HW.
While for unicasts this is rather insignificant [as unicast MACs don't
frequently change while interface is actually running],
for multicast traffic it does pose an issue as there are multicast-based
networks where new multicast groups would constantly be removed and
added.
This patch tries to remedy this [at least for the newer adapters] -
Instead of flushing & reconfiguring all existing multicast filters,
the driver would instead create the approximate hash match that would
result from the required filters. It would then compare it against the
currently configured approximate hash match, and only add and remove the
delta between those.

Current driver always uses vlan-promisc mode, i.e., it receives both
tagged and untagged traffic and lets the network stack drop packets
tagged with unrequested vlan tags.
This patch implements vlan-filtering offload in the driver -
Unless explicitly configured to promisc mode, only untagged packets or
packets tagged with requested vlans would reach the Rx flow.

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.

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.

Starting with commit 2dc33bbc "bnx2x: Remove the sriov VFOP mechanism",
the bnx2x started enforcing vlan credits for all vlan configurations.
This exposed 2 issues:
- Vlan credits are not returned once a VF is removed; this causes a leak
of credits, and eventually will lead to VFs with no vlan credits.
- A vlan credit must be set aside for the Hypervisor to use, and should
not be visible to the VF.
Although linux VFs at the moment do not support vlan configuration [from the
VF side] which causes them to be resilient to this sort of issue, Windows VF
over linux hypervisors might fail to load as the vlan credits become depleted.

Since we now posses a workqueue dedicated for sriov, the paradigm that sriov-
related tasks cannot sleep is no longer correct.
The VFOP mechanism was the one previously supporting said paradigm - the sriov
related tasks were broken into segments which did not require sleep, and the
mechanism re-scheduled the next segment whenever possible.
This patch remvoes the VFOP mechanism altogether - the resulting code is a much
easier to follow code; The segments are gathered into straight-forward
functions which sleep whenever neccessary.

The bnx2x sriov mechanisms were done in the bnx2x slowpath workitem which
runs on the bnx2x's workqueue; This workitem is also responsible for the bottom
half of interrupt handling in the driver, and specifically it also receives
FW notifications of ramrod completions, allowing other flows to progress.
The original design of the sriov reltaed-flows was based on the notion such
flows must not sleep, since their context is the slowpath workitem.
Otherwise, we might reach timeouts - those flows may wait for ramrod completion
that will never arrive as the workitem wlll not be re-scheduled until that same
flow will be over.
In more recent time bnx2x started supporting features in which the VF interface
can be configured by the tools accessing the PF on the hypervisor.
This support created possible races on the VF-PF lock (which is taken either
when the PF is handling a VF message or when the PF is doing some slowpath work
on behalf of the VF) which may cause timeouts on the VF side and lags on the PF
side.
This patch changes the scheme - it creates a new workqueue for sriov related
tasks and moves all handling currently done in the slowpath task into the the
new workqueue.

* make local functions static
* move some inline's used in one file out of header

If the hypervisor configures a vlan for the VF via the PF, the expected
result is that only packets tagged by said vlan will be received by the VF
(and that vlan will be silently removed).
Due to an incorrect manipulation of vlan filters in the driver, the
VF can receive untagged traffic even if the hypervisor configured
some vlan for it.
This patch corrects the behaviour.

Current bnx2x implementation controls the number of VFs only by
standard sysfs support, and will reject setting the number of VFs
when the PF is not loaded.
As a result, there is no need to schedule a delayed work to enable
SR-IOV when PF is loaded, as the number of VFs at that point
must be 0.

In this patch the PF driver adds to the query, on top of the

are the GPAs of the statistics buffers supplied by the VF in the
