The 'release' request is the opposite of the 'acquire' request.
At release, all the resources allocated to the VF are reclaimed.
The release flow applies the close flow if applicable.
Note that there are actually two types of release:
1. The VF has been removed, and so issued a 'release' request
over the VF <-> PF Channel.
2. The PF is going down and so has to release all of it's VFs.

The 'close' command is the opposite of an init request. Here the
queues of the VF are closed (if any are opened) and released.
This flow applies the 'q_teardown' flow on all the queues.
The VF state is changed by this request.
Interrupts are disabled for the VF when closed.

The 'q_teardown' request is basically the opposite of the 'q_setup'.
Here the PF driver removes from the device the queue it opened against
the VF fastpath ring at 'setup_q' stage, along with all related
rx_mode info.

The VF driver uses the 'q_filters' message on the VF <-> PF channel
for configuring an open queue, for example when the rxmode changes.

Upon receiving a 'setup_q' request from the VF over the VF <-> PF
channel the PF driver will open a corresponding queue in the
device. The PF driver configures the queue with appropriate mac
address, vlan configuration, etc from the VF.

The VF driver will send an 'init' request as part of its nic load
flow. This message is used by the VF to publish the GPA's of its
status blocks, slow path ring and statistics buffer.
The PF driver notes all this down in the VF database, and also uses
this message to transfer the VF to VF_INIT state internally.

When a VF is probed by the VF driver, the VF driver sends an
'acquire' request over the VF <-> PF channel for the resources
it needs to operate (interrupts, queues, etc).
The PF driver either ratifies the request and allocates the resources,
responds with the maximum values it will allow the VF to acquire,
or fails the request entirely if there is a problem.

Support interrupt from device which indicates VF has placed
A request on the VF <-> PF channel.
The PF driver issues a DMAE to retrieve the request from the VM
memory (the Ghost Physical Address of the request is contained
in the interrupt. The PF driver uses the GPA in the DMAE request,
which is translated by the IOMMU to the correct physical address).
The request which arrives is examined to recognize the sending VF.
The PF driver allocates a workitem to handle the VF Operation (vfop).

Add the 'acquire' request to VF <-> PF channel and use it at
VF probe. In the acquire request the VF driver lists the resources
it would like to have. In the response the PF either ratifies the
request, or denies it and supplies the maximum values supported.
The VF may then attempt another acquire request.
This patch adds the bnx2x_vfpf.c file which contains the
implementation of the VF to PF hardware channel.
