Driver interaction with the managemnt firmware is done via mailbox
commands which the management firmware periodically sample, as well
as placing of additional data in set places in the shared memory.
Each PF has a single designated mailbox address, and all flows that
require messaging to the management should use it.
This patch does 2 things:
1. It re-defines the critical section surrounding the mailbox sending -
that section should include the setting of the shared memory as well as
the sending of the command [otherwise a race might send a command with
the data of a different command].
2. It moves the locking scheme from using mutices into using spinlocks.
This lays the groundwork for sending MFW commands from non-sleepable
contexts.

Physical LEDs are being controlled by the management FW.
This adds the qed functionality required to request management FW to
change the LED configuration, as well as the necessary APIs for this
functionality to later be used by the protocol drivers.

Physical link is handled by the management Firmware.
This patch lays the infrastructure for attention handling in the driver,
as link change notifications arrive via async. attentions,
as well the handling of such notifications.
This patch also extends the API with the protocol drivers by adding
registered callbacks which the protocol driver passes to qed in order
to be notified of async. events originating from the FW/HW.

This patch adds to the qed the support to configure various L2 elements,
such as channels and basic filtering conditions.
It also enhances its public API to allow qede to later utilize this
functionality.

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.
