This patch implements ice_start_xmit (the handler for ndo_start_xmit) and
related functions. ice_start_xmit ultimately calls ice_tx_map, where the
Tx descriptor is built and posted to the hardware by bumping the ring tail.
This patch also implements ice_napi_poll, which is invoked when there's an
interrupt on the VSI's queues. The interrupt can be due to either a
completed Tx or an Rx event. In case of a completed Tx/Rx event, resources
are reclaimed. Additionally, in case of an Rx event, the skb is fetched
and passed up to the network stack.

This patch configures the VSIs to be able to send and receive
packets by doing the following:
1) Initialize flexible parser to extract and include certain
fields in the Rx descriptor.
2) Add Tx queues by programming the Tx queue context (implemented in
ice_vsi_cfg_txqs). Note that adding the queues also enables (starts)
the queues.
3) Add Rx queues by programming Rx queue context (implemented in
ice_vsi_cfg_rxqs). Note that this only adds queues but doesn't start
them. The rings will be started by calling ice_vsi_start_rx_rings on
interface up.
4) Configure interrupts for VSI queues.
5) Implement ice_open and ice_stop.

A VSI needs traffic directed towards it. This is done by programming
filter rules on the switch (embedded vSwitch) element in the hardware,
which connects the VSI to the ingress/egress port.
This patch introduces data structures and functions necessary to add
remove or update switch rules on the switch element. This is a pretty low
level function that is generic enough to add a whole range of filters.
This patch also introduces two top level functions ice_add_mac and
ice_remove mac which through a series of intermediate helper functions
eventually call ice_aq_sw_rules to add/delete simple MAC based filters.
It's worth noting that one invocation of ice_add_mac/ice_remove_mac
is capable of adding/deleting multiple MAC filters.
Also worth noting is the fact that the driver maintains a list of currently
active filters, so every filter addition/removal causes an update to this
list. This is done for a couple of reasons:
1) If two VSIs try to add the same filters, we need to detect it and do
things a little differently (i.e. use VSI lists, described below) as
the same filter can't be added more than once.
2) In the event of a hardware reset we can simply walk through this list
and restore the filters.
VSI Lists:
In a multi-VSI situation, it's possible that multiple VSIs want to add the
same filter rule. For example, two VSIs that want to receive broadcast
traffic would both add a filter for destination MAC ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff.
This can become cumbersome to maintain and so this is handled using a
VSI list.
A VSI list is resource that can be allocated in the hardware using the
ice_aq_alloc_free_res admin queue command. Simply put, a VSI list can
be thought of as a subscription list containing a set of VSIs to which
the packet should be forwarded, should the filter match.
For example, if VSI-0 has already added a broadcast filter, and VSI-1
wants to do the same thing, the filter creation flow will detect this,
allocate a VSI list and update the switch rule so that broadcast traffic
will now be forwarded to the VSI list which contains VSI-0 and VSI-1.

This patch introduces data structures and functions to alloc/free
VSIs. The driver represents a VSI using the ice_vsi structure.
Some noteworthy points about VSI allocation:
1) A VSI is allocated in the firmware using the "add VSI" admin queue
command (implemented as ice_aq_add_vsi). The firmware returns an
identifier for the allocated VSI. The VSI context is used to program
certain aspects (loopback, queue map, etc.) of the VSI's configuration.
2) A VSI is deleted using the "free VSI" admin queue command (implemented
as ice_aq_free_vsi).
3) The driver represents a VSI using struct ice_vsi. This is allocated
and initialized as part of the ice_vsi_alloc flow, and deallocated
as part of the ice_vsi_delete flow.
4) Once the VSI is created, a netdev is allocated and associated with it.
The VSI's ring and vector related data structures are also allocated
and initialized.
5) A VSI's queues can either be contiguous or scattered. To do this, the
driver maintains a bitmap (vsi->avail_txqs) which is kept in sync with
the firmware's VSI queue allocation imap. If the VSI can't get a
contiguous queue allocation, it will fallback to scatter. This is
implemented in ice_vsi_get_qs which is called as part of the VSI setup
flow. In the release flow, the VSI's queues are released and the bitmap
is updated to reflect this by ice_vsi_put_qs.

This patch continues the initialization flow as follows:
1) Allocate and initialize necessary fields (like vsi, num_alloc_vsi,
irq_tracker, etc) in the ice_pf instance.
2) Setup the miscellaneous interrupt handler. This also known as the
"other interrupt causes" (OIC) handler and is used to handle non
hotpath interrupts (like control queue events, link events,
exceptions, etc.
3) Implement a background task to process admin queue receive (ARQ)
events received by the driver.

This patch implements multiple pieces of the initialization flow
as follows:
1) A reset is issued to ensure a clean device state, followed
by initialization of admin queue interface.
2) Once the admin queue interface is up, clear the PF config
and transition the device to non-PXE mode.
3) Get the NVM configuration stored in the device's non-volatile
memory (NVM) using ice_init_nvm.

A control queue is a hardware interface which is used by the driver
to interact with other subsystems (like firmware, PHY, etc.). It is
implemented as a producer-consumer ring. More specifically, an
"admin queue" is a type of control queue used to interact with the
firmware.
This patch introduces data structures and functions to initialize
and teardown control/admin queues. Once the admin queue is initialized,
the driver uses it to get the firmware version.
