This patch enhances vmxnet3 to suuport capability registers which allows it to enable features selectively. The DCR register tracks the capabilities vmxnet3 device supports. The PTCR register states the capabilities that the passthrough device supports. With the help of these registers, vmxnet3 can enable only those features which the passthrough device supoprts. This allows smooth trasition to Uniform-Passthrough (UPT) mode if the virtual nic requests it. If PTCR register returns nothing or error it means UPT is not being requested and vnic will continue in emulation mode.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
