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.
