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.

Add support for a new Kconfig option for qed* driver which would allow
[eventually] the support in VFs.
This patch adds the necessary logic in the PF to learn about the possible
VFs it will have to support [Based on PCI configuration space and HW],
and prepare a database with an entry per-VF as infrastructure for future
interaction with said VFs.

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.
