In order to access HW registers driver needs to acquire a PTT entry
[mapping between bar memory and internal chip address].
Since acquiring PTT entries could fail [at least in theory] as their
number is finite and other flows can hold them, we reserve special PTT
entries for 'important' enough flows - ones we want to guarantee that
would not be susceptible to such issues.
One such special entry is the 'main' PTT which is meant to be used in
flows such as chip initialization and de-initialization.
However, there are other flows that are also using that same entry
for their own purpose, and might run concurrently with the original
flows [notice that for most cases using the main-ptt by mistake, such
a race is still impossible, at least today].
This patch re-organizes the various functions that currently use the
main_ptt in one of two ways:
- If a function shouldn't use the main_ptt it starts acquiring and
releasing it's own PTT entry and use it instead. Notice if those
functions previously couldn't fail, they now can [as acquisition
might fail].
- Change the prototypes so that the main_ptt would be received as
a parameter [instead of explicitly accessing it].
This prevents the future risk of adding codes that introduces new
use-cases for flows using the main_ptt, ones that might be in race
with the actual 'main' flows.

It's possible some configurations would prevent driver from utilizing
all the Memory Regions due to a lack of ILT lines.
In such a case, calculate how many memory regions would have to be
dropped due to limit, and manage without those.

This adds the backbone required for the various HW initalizations
which are necessary for the FCoE driver (qedf) for QLogic FastLinQ
4xxxx line of adapters - FW notification, resource initializations, etc.

Since the submission of the qedr driver, there's inconsistency
in the licensing of the various qed/qede files - some are GPLv2
and some are dual-license.
Since qedr requires dual-license and it's dependent on both,
we're updating the licensing of all qed/qede source files.

RoCE and iSCSI would require some added/changed hw configuration in order
to properly run; The biggest single change being the requirement of
allocating and mapping host memory for several HW blocks that aren't being
used by qede [SRC, QM, TM, etc.].
In addition, whereas qede is only using context memory for HW blocks, the
new protocol would also require task memories to be added.

This patch adds the necessary driver support for Management Firmware to
configure the device/firmware with the dcbx results. Management Firmware
is responsible for communicating the DCBX and driving the negotiation,
but the driver has responsibility of receiving async notification and
configuring the results in hw/fw. This patch also adds the dcbx support for
future protocols (e.g., FCoE) as preparation to their imminent submission.

This adds the qed VFs for the first time -
The vfs are limited functions, with a very different PCI bar structure
[when compared with PFs] to better impose the related security demands
associated with them.
This patch includes the logic neccesary to allow VFs to successfully probe
[without actually adding the ability to enable iov].
This includes diverging all the flows that would occur as part of the pci
probe of the driver, preventing VF from accessing registers/memories it
can't and instead utilize the VF->PF channel to query the PF for needed
information.

The Qlogic Everest Driver is the backend module for the QL4xxx ethernet
products by Qlogic.
This module serves two main purposes:
1. It's responsible to contain all the common code that will be shared
between the various drivers that would be used with said line of
products. Flows such as chip initialization and de-initialization
fall under this category.
2. It would abstract the protocol-specific HW & FW components, allowing
the protocol drivers to have a clean APIs which is detached in its
slowpath configuration from the actual HSI.
This adds a very basic module without any protocol-specific bits.
I.e., this adds a basic implementation that almost entirely falls under
the first category.
