Saeed Mahameed eeb66cdb68 net/mlx5: Separate between E-Switch and MPFS
Multi-Physical Function Switch (MPFs) is required for when multi-PF
configuration is enabled to allow passing user configured unicast MAC
addresses to the requesting PF.

Before this patch eswitch.c used to manage the HW MPFS l2 table,
E-Switch always (regardless of sriov) enabled vport(0) (NIC PF) vport's
contexts update on unicast mac address list changes, to populate the PF's
MPFS L2 table accordingly.

In downstream patch we would like to allow compiling the driver without
E-Switch functionalities, for that we move MPFS l2 table logic out
of eswitch.c into its own file, and provide Kconfig flag (MLX5_MPFS) to
allow compiling out MPFS for those who don't want Multi-PF support.

NIC PF netdevice will now directly update MPFS l2 table via the new MPFS
API. VF netdevice has no access to MPFS L2 table, so E-Switch will remain
responsible of updating its MPFS l2 table on behalf of its VFs.

Due to this change we also don't require enabling vport(0) (PF vport)
unicast mac changes events anymore, for when SRIOV is not enabled.
Which means E-Switch is now activated only on SRIOV activation, and not
required otherwise.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
