The PF <-> VF Bulletin Board is a simple interface between the
PF and the VF. The main reason for the Bulletin Board is to allow
the PF to be the initiator. The VF publishes at 'acquire' stage
the GPA of a Bulletin Board structure it has allocated. The PF notes
this GPA in the VF database. The VF samples the Bulletin Board
periodically for new messages. The latest version of the BB is always
used.

The FLR indication arrives as an attention from the management processor.
Upon VF flr all FLRed function in the indication have already been
released by Firmware and now we basically need to free the resources
allocated to those VFs, and clean any remainders from the device
(FLR final cleanup).

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 VF driver uses the 'q_filter' request in the VF <-> PF channel to
have the PF configure the requested rxmode to device. ndo_set_rxmode
is called under bottom half lock, so sleeping until the response
arrives over the VF <-> PF channel is out of the question. For this reason
the VF driver returns from the ndo after scheduling a work item, which
in turn processes the rx mode request and adds the classification
information through the VF <-> PF channel accordingly.

When a VF is being closed its queues are released via
the 'teardown_q' and the VF itself is closed with
'close'. These are essentially the unload counterparts of
'init' and 'setup_q' from the load flow.

'init' - init an acquired VF. Supply allocation GPAs to PF.
'setup_q' - PF to allocate a queue in device on behalf of the VF.
'set_mac' - PF to configure a mac in device on behalf of the VF.
VF driver uses these requests in the VF <-> PF channel in nic_load
flow.

VF driver uses this request when removed. The PF driver
reclaims all resources allocated for that VF at this
time.

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.

To support probing and removing of a bnx2x virtual function
the following were added:
1. add bnx2x_vfpf.h: defines the VF to PF channel
2. add bnx2x_sriov.h: header for bnx2x SR-IOV functionality
3. enumerate VF hw types (identify VFs)
4. if driving a VF, map VF bar
5. if driving a VF, allocate Vf to PF channel
6. refactor interrupt flows to include VF
