Or Gerlitz 08f4b5918b net/devlink: Add E-Switch mode control
Add the commands to set and show the mode of SRIOV E-Switch, two modes
are supported:

* legacy: operating in the "old" L2 based mode (DMAC --> VF vport)

* switchdev: the E-Switch is referred to as whitebox switch configured
using standard tools such as tc, bridge, openvswitch etc. To allow
working with the tools, for each VF, a VF representor netdevice is
created by the E-Switch manager vendor device driver instance (e.g PF).

Jiri Pirko df38dafd25 devlink: implement shared buffer occupancy monitoring interface
User needs to monitor shared buffer occupancy. For that, he issues a
snapshot command in order to instruct hardware to catch current and
maximal occupancy values, and clear command in order to clear the
historical maximal values.

Also port-pool and tc-pool-bind command response messages are extended to
carry occupancy values.

Jiri Pirko bf7974710a devlink: add shared buffer configuration
Define userspace API and drivers API for configuration of shared
buffers. Four basic objects are defined:
shared buffer - attributes are size, number of pools and TCs
pool - chunk of sharedbuffer definition, it has some size and either
       static or dynamic threshold
port pool threshold - to set per-port threshold for each pool
port tc threshold bind - to bind port and TC to specified pool
                         with threshold.

Jiri Pirko bfcd3a4661 Introduce devlink infrastructure
Introduce devlink infrastructure for drivers to register and expose to
userspace via generic Netlink interface.

There are two basic objects defined:
devlink - one instance for every "parent device", for example switch ASIC
devlink port - one instance for every physical port of the device.

This initial portion implements basic get/dump of objects to userspace.
Also, port splitter and port type setting is implemented.
