ILT entry requires 12 bit right shifted physical address.
Existing mask for ILT entry of physical address i.e.
ILT_ENTRY_PHY_ADDR_MASK is not sufficient to handle 64bit
address because upper 8 bits of 64 bit address were getting
masked which resulted in completer abort error on
PCIe bus due to invalid address.
Fix that mask to handle 64bit physical address.

Rdma requires ILT Memory to be allocated for it's QPs.
Each ILT entry points to a page used by several Rdma QPs.
To avoid allocating all the memory in advance, the rdma
implementation dynamically allocates memory as more QPs are
added, however it does not dynamically free the memory.
The memory should have been freed on rmmod qedr, but isn't.
This patch adds the memory freeing on rmmod qedr (currently
it will be freed with qed is removed).
An outcome of this bug, is that if qedr is unloaded and loaded
without unloaded qed, there will be no more RoCE traffic.
The reason these are related, is that the logic of detecting the
first QP ever opened is by asking whether ILT memory for RoCE has
been allocated.
In addition, this patch modifies freeing of the Task context to
always use the PROTOCOLID_ROCE and not the protocol passed,
this is because task context for iWARP and ROCE both use the
ROCE protocol id, as opposed to the connection context.

This adds the infrastructure for supporting VFs that want to open
multiple transmission queues on the same queue-zone.
At this point, there are no VFs that actually request this functionality,
but later patches would remedy that.
a. VF and PF would communicate the capability during ACQUIRE;
Legacy VFs would continue on behaving as they do today
b. PF would communicate number of supported CIDs to the VF
and would enforce said limitation
c. Whenever VF passes a request for a given queue configuration
it would also pass an associated index within said queue-zone

Each PF has a bitmap for its own ranges of CIDs, to allow easy grabbing
of an available CID when such is needed. But VFs are not using the same
mechanism, instead relying on hard-coded CIDs [ queue-index == cid ].
As an infrastructure step toward increasing number of CIDs of VFs,
the PF is going to maintain bitmaps for the VF CIDs as well -
the bitmaps would be per-VF and the ranges would be the same [in HW all
VFs of a given PF have the same mapping of CIDs, and the HW is capable
of distinguishing between those according to the VF index]

In order to access HW registers driver needs to acquire a PTT entry
[mapping between bar memory and internal chip address].
Since acquiring PTT entries could fail [at least in theory] as their
number is finite and other flows can hold them, we reserve special PTT
entries for 'important' enough flows - ones we want to guarantee that
would not be susceptible to such issues.
One such special entry is the 'main' PTT which is meant to be used in
flows such as chip initialization and de-initialization.
However, there are other flows that are also using that same entry
for their own purpose, and might run concurrently with the original
flows [notice that for most cases using the main-ptt by mistake, such
a race is still impossible, at least today].
This patch re-organizes the various functions that currently use the
main_ptt in one of two ways:
- If a function shouldn't use the main_ptt it starts acquiring and
releasing it's own PTT entry and use it instead. Notice if those
functions previously couldn't fail, they now can [as acquisition
might fail].
- Change the prototypes so that the main_ptt would be received as
a parameter [instead of explicitly accessing it].
This prevents the future risk of adding codes that introduces new
use-cases for flows using the main_ptt, ones that might be in race
with the actual 'main' flows.

doorbelling the higher CIDs would fail to reach the firmware and

This patch advances the qed* drivers into using the newer firmware -
This solves several firmware bugs, mostly related [but not limited to]
various init/deinit issues in various offloaded protocols.
It also introduces a major 4-Cached SGE change in firmware, which can be
seen in the storage drivers' changes.
In addition, this firmware is required for supporting the new QL41xxx
series of adapters; While this patch doesn't add the actual support,
the firmware contains the necessary initialization & firmware logic to
operate such adapters [actual support would be added later on].

The qedr driver would require a tristate Kconfig option [to allow
it to compile as a module], and toward that end we've added the
INFINIBAND_QEDR option. But as we've made the compilation of the
qed/qede infrastructure required for RoCE dependent on the option
we'd be facing linking difficulties in case that QED=y or QEDE=y,
and INFINIBAND_QEDR=m.
To resolve this, we seperate between the INFINIBAND_QEDR option
and the infrastructure support in qed/qede by introducing a new
QED_RDMA option which would be selected by INFINIBAND_QEDR but would
be a boolean instead of a tristate; Following that, the qed/qede is
fixed based on this new option so that all config combinations would
be supported.

This adds the qed VFs for the first time -
The vfs are limited functions, with a very different PCI bar structure
[when compared with PFs] to better impose the related security demands
associated with them.
This patch includes the logic neccesary to allow VFs to successfully probe
[without actually adding the ability to enable iov].
This includes diverging all the flows that would occur as part of the pci
probe of the driver, preventing VF from accessing registers/memories it
can't and instead utilize the VF->PF channel to query the PF for needed
information.

The Qlogic Everest Driver is the backend module for the QL4xxx ethernet
products by Qlogic.
This module serves two main purposes:
1. It's responsible to contain all the common code that will be shared
between the various drivers that would be used with said line of
products. Flows such as chip initialization and de-initialization
fall under this category.
2. It would abstract the protocol-specific HW & FW components, allowing
the protocol drivers to have a clean APIs which is detached in its
slowpath configuration from the actual HSI.
This adds a very basic module without any protocol-specific bits.
I.e., this adds a basic implementation that almost entirely falls under
the first category.
