Define type of ports, which netdevsim driver currently operates with as PF. Define new port type - VF, which will be implemented in following patches. Add helper functions to distinguish them. Add helper function to get VF index from port index. Add port indexing logic where PFs' indexes starts from 0, VFs' - from NSIM_DEV_VF_PORT_INDEX_BASE. All ports uses same index pool, which means that PF port may be created with index from VFs' indexes range. Maximum number of VFs, which the driver can allocate, is limited by UINT_MAX - BASE.

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.
