i40evf: virtual channel interface
This PCI-E SR-IOV virtual function (VF) driver is dependant upon the physical function (PF) driver (i40e) for nearly all of its hardware configuration. Requests from the VF driver are passed to the PF using the hardware's Admin Queue. This patch contains the functionality for communicating with the PF driver. Because of the delay inherent in this communications channel, most of the replies from the PF driver are handled asynchronously. The exceptions are the "send API version" and "get VF config" messages, which busy-wait because they are done so early during init that interrupts are not yet configured.
