When device is configured for Multi-function mode, some older management
firmware might incorrectly notify interfaces of link changes while they
haven't requested the physical link configuration to be set.
This can create bizzare race conditions where unloading interfaces are
getting notified that the link is up.
Let the driver compensate - store the logical requested state of the link
and don't propagate notifications after protocol driver explicitly
requires the link to be unset.

This patch moves the qed* driver into utilizing the 8.7.3.0 FW.
This new FW is required for a lot of new SW features, including:
- Vlan filtering offload
- Encapsulation offload support
- HW ingress aggregations
As well as paving the way for the possibility of adding storage protocols
in the future.
V2:
- Fix kbuild test robot error/warnings.

When using INTa, ISR might be called before device is configured
for INTa [E.g., due to other device asserting the shared interrupt line],
in which case the ISR would read the SISR registers that shouldn't be
read unless HW is already configured for INTa. This might break interrupts
later on. There's also an MSI-X issue due to this difference, although
it's mostly theoretical.
This patch changes the initialization order, calling request_irq() for the
slowpath interrupt only after the chip is configured for working
in the preferred interrupt mode.

Device statistics can be gathered on-demand. This adds the qed support for
reading the statistics [both function and port] from the device, and adds
to the public API a method for requesting the current statistics.

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 a public API for a network driver to work on top of QED.
The interface itself is very minimal - it's mostly infrastructure, as the
only content it has after this patch is a query for HW-based information
required for the creation of a network interface [I.e., no actual
protocol-specific configurations are supported].

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.
