net: Add support for networking over Thunderbolt cable
ThunderboltIP is a protocol created by Apple to tunnel IP/ethernet traffic over a Thunderbolt cable. The protocol consists of configuration phase where each side sends ThunderboltIP login packets (the protocol is determined by UUID in the XDomain packet header) over the configuration channel. Once both sides get positive acknowledgment to their login packet, they configure high-speed DMA path accordingly. This DMA path is then used to transmit and receive networking traffic. This patch creates a virtual ethernet interface the host software can use in the same way as any other networking interface. Once the interface is brought up successfully network packets get tunneled over the Thunderbolt cable to the remote host and back. The connection is terminated by sending a ThunderboltIP logout packet over the configuration channel. We do this when the network interface is brought down by user or the driver is unloaded.
