Ben Hutchings cd2d5b529c sfc: Add SR-IOV back-end support for SFC9000 family
On the SFC9000 family, each port has 1024 Virtual Interfaces (VIs),
each with an RX queue, a TX queue, an event queue and a mailbox
register.  These may be assigned to up to 127 SR-IOV virtual functions
per port, with up to 64 VIs per VF.

We allocate an extra channel (IRQ and event queue only) to receive
requests from VF drivers.

There is a per-port limit of 4 concurrent RX queue flushes, and queue
flushes may be initiated by the MC in response to a Function Level
Reset (FLR) of a VF.  Therefore, when SR-IOV is in use, we submit all
flush requests via the MC.

The RSS indirection table is shared with VFs, so the number of RX
queues used in the PF is limited to the number of VIs per VF.

This is almost entirely the work of Steve Hodgson, formerly
shodgson@solarflare.com.

---help---
This driver supports 10-gigabit Ethernet cards based on
the Solarflare SFC4000 and SFC9000-family controllers.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
will be called sfc.
config SFC_MTD
bool "Solarflare SFC4000/SFC9000-family MTD support"
depends on SFC && MTD && !(SFC=y && MTD=m)
default y
---help---
This exposes the on-board flash and/or EEPROM as MTD devices
(e.g. /dev/mtd1). This is required to update the firmware or
the boot configuration under Linux.
config SFC_MCDI_MON
bool "Solarflare SFC9000-family hwmon support"
depends on SFC && HWMON && !(SFC=y && HWMON=m)
default y
----help---
This exposes the on-board firmware-managed sensors as a
hardware monitor device.
config SFC_SRIOV
bool "Solarflare SFC9000-family SR-IOV support"
depends on SFC && PCI_IOV
default y
---help---
This enables support for the SFC9000 I/O Virtualization
features, allowing accelerated network performance in
virtualized environments.
