VNIC Characteristics (VNICC) are features of HiperSockets that define
how packets are handled by the underlying network hardware. For example,
if the VNICC flooding is configured on a qeth device, ethernet frames to
unknown destination MAC addresses are received.
Currently, there is support for seven VNICCs: flooding, multicast
flooding, receive broadcast, learning, takeover learning, takeover
setvmac, bridge invisible. Also, six IPA commands exist for configuring
VNICCs on a qeth device: query characteristics, query commands, enable
characteristic, disable characteristic, set timeout, get timeout.
This patch adds the basic code infrastructure for VNICC support to qeth.
It allows querying VNICC support from the underlying hardware. To this
end, it adds:
* basic message formats for IPA commands
* basic data structures
* basic error handling
* query characteristics IPA command support
The query characteristics IPA command allows requesting the currently
supported and currently enabled VNIC characteristics from the underlying
hardware.
Support for the other IPA commands and for the configuration of VNICCs
is added in follow-up patches together with the respective user
interface functions.

Turning on receive and/or transmit checksum offload support
on the OSA card requires 2 commands:
1. start command which replies with available features
2. enable command to turn on selected features.
The current version does not check the reply of the start
command and simply uses the returned value to enable
offload features. When the start command returns zero, this
leads to a situation where no checksum offload
is turned on by the hardware. Even worse no error
indication is returned. The Linux kernel assumes
the OSA card performs RX/TX checksum offload, but the hardware
does not perform any checksum verification at all.
This patch checks the return of the start and enable
command responses from the hardware and turns off
checksum offloading if the commands fails or does not
respond with the correct bit setting.

The existing port isolation mode 'forward' will now verify that the adjacent
switch port supports the required reflective relay (RR) mode. This patch adds
the required error handling for the cases where enabling port isolation mode
'forward' can now fail.
Furthermore, once established, we never fall back from one of the port
isolation modes to a non-isolated mode without further user-interaction.
This includes cases where the isolation mode was enabled successfully, but
ceases to work e.g. due to configuration changes at the switch port.
Finally, configuring an isolation mode with the device being offline
will make onlining the device fail permanently upon errors encountered until
either errors are resolved or the isolation mode is changed by the user to a
different mode.

Remove the file name from the comment at top of many files. In most

Also unify the IBM copyright statement. We did have a lot of sightly
different statements and wanted to change them one after another
whenever a file gets touched. However that never happened. Instead
people start to take the old/"wrong" statements to use as a template
for new files.
So unify all of them in one go.
