This patch adds SRIOV base support for mlx5 supported devices. The same driver is used for both PFs and VFs; VFs are identified by the driver through the flag MLX5_PCI_DEV_IS_VF added to the pci table entries. Virtual functions are created as usual through writing a value to the sriov_numvs sysfs file of the PF device. Upon instantiating VFs, they will all be probed by the driver on the hypervisor. One can gracefully unbind them through /sys/bus/pci/drivers/mlx5_core/unbind. mlx5_wait_for_vf_pages() was added to ensure that when a VF dies without executing proper teardown, the hypervisor driver waits till all of the pages that were allocated at the hypervisor to maintain its operation are returned. In order for the VF to be operational, the PF needs to call enable_hca for it. This can be done before the VFs are created through a call to pci_enable_sriov. If the there are VFs assigned to a VMs when the driver of the PF is unloaded, all the VF will experience system error and PF driver unloads cleanly; in this case pci_disable_sriov is not called and the devices will show when running lspci. Once the PF driver is reloaded, it will sync its data structures which maintain state on its VFs.
