Most of the NIC configuration happens through the AdminQ message
queue. NAPI is used for basic interrupt handling and message
queue management. These routines are set up to be shared among
different types of queues when used in slow-path handling.

The ionic interrupt model is based on interrupt control blocks
accessed through the PCI BAR. Doorbell registers are used by
the driver to signal to the NIC that requests are waiting on
the message queues. Interrupts are used by the NIC to signal
to the driver that answers are waiting on the completion queues.

The LIF is the Logical Interface, which represents the external
connections. The NIC can multiplex many LIFs to a single port,
but in most setups, LIF0 is the primary control for the port.

The ionic device has a small set of PCI registers, including a
device control and data space, and a large set of message
commands.
Also adds new DEVLINK_INFO_VERSION_GENERIC tags for
ASIC_ID, ASIC_REV, and FW.

This patch adds a basic driver framework for the Pensando IONIC
network device. There is no functionality right now other than
the ability to load and unload.
