Change various flows in the bnx2x driver which up until now flapped
the link - these flows now benefit from the link flap avoidance mechanism.
This includes the removal of the link reset made upon nic init, as it is
possible the link is already active at that time.

Various flows in the bnx2x driver cause a link-flap - if the link
is up, it would be toggled down (after a mac/phy reset) and then
taken back up.
In many of these cases, there is no need to do cause such a flap,
as the associated flows should not actually affect the link.
This patch adds the 'Link Flap Avoidance' mechanism, which allows
the driver to better determine if a given flow requires a link change,
and thus minimize the number of link flaps caused by the driver.

Separate the interrupt setting part of each external PHY to a specific
function.
This allows calling the interrupt setting in case of link-flap avoidance,
since some link owners may not enable the interrupt on their own.

Following patch adds afex multifunction support to the driver (afex
multifunction is based on vntag header) and updates FW version used to 7.2.51.
Support includes the following:
1. Configure vif parameters in firmware (default vlan, vif id, default
priority, allowed priorities) according to values received from NIC.
2. Configure FW to strip/add default vlan according to afex vlan mode.
3. Notify link up to OS only after vif is fully initialized.
4. Support vif list set/get requests and configure FW accordingly.
5. Supply afex statistics upon request from NIC.
6. Special handling to L2 interface in case of FCoE vif.

Restore remote-faule detection, which periodically checks for
remote-fault on the MAC layer. In case physical link appear to be
up but fault is set, it will provide a link down indication, and
when the fault is cleared, it will indicate link up again.

The flow in which the bnx2x driver starts after a previous driver
has been terminated in an 'unclean' manner has several bugs and
FW risks, which makes it possible for the driver to fail after
boot-from-SAN or kdump.
This patch contains a revised flow which performs a safer
initialization, solving the possible crash scenarios.
Notice this patch contains lines with over 80 characters, as it
keeps print-strings in a single line.
