mainlining shenanigans

This patch adds to the initialization flow by getting switch configuration, scheduler configuration and device capabilities. Switch configuration: On boot, an L2 switch element is created in the firmware per physical function. Each physical function is also mapped to a port, to which its switch element is connected. In other words, this switch can be visualized as an embedded vSwitch that can connect a physical function's virtual station interfaces (VSIs) to the egress/ingress port. Egress/ingress filters will be eventually created and applied on this switch element. As part of the initialization flow, the driver gets configuration data from this switch element and stores it. Scheduler configuration: The Tx scheduler is a subsystem responsible for setting and enforcing QoS. As part of the initialization flow, the driver queries and stores the default scheduler configuration for the given physical function. Device capabilities: As part of initialization, the driver has to determine what the device is capable of (ex. max queues, VSIs, etc). This information is obtained from the firmware and stored by the driver.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
