Marcel Apfelbaum 5cc914f108 mlx4_core: Added FW commands and their wrappers for supporting SRIOV ... The following commands are added here: 1. QUERY_FUNC_CAP and its wrapper. This function is used by VFs when they start up to receive configuration information from the PF, such as resource quotas for this VF, which ports should be used (currently two), what protocol is running on the port (currently Ethernet ONLY, or port not active). 2. QUERY_PORT and its wrapper. Previously, this FW command was invoked directly by the ETH driver (en_port.c) using mlx4_cmd_box. Virtualization is now required here (the VF's MAC address must be substituted for the PFs MAC address returned by the FW). We changed the invocation in the ETH driver to use mlx4_QUERY_PORT, and added the wrapper. 3. QUERY_HCA. Used by the VF to determine how the HCA was initialized. For now, we need only the multicast table member entry size (log2_mc_table_entry_sz, in the ConnectX PRM). No wrapper is needed here, because the data may be passed as is to the VF without modification). In this command, we have added a GLOBAL_CAPS field for passing required configuration information from FW to a VF (this field is to allow safely adding new SRIOV capabilities which require support in VF drivers, too). Bits will set here by FW in response to PF-driver configuration commands which will activate as yet undefined new SRIOV features. The VF will test to see that all required capabilities indicated by this field are supported (i.e., if a bit is set and the VF driver does not recognize that bit, it must abort its initialization). Currently, no bits are set. 4. Added a CLOSE_PORT wrapper. The PF context needs to keep track of how many VF contexts have the port open. The PF context will not actually issue the FW close port command until the last port user issues a CLOSE_PORT request.
