net/mlx4: Add A0 hybrid steering
A0 hybrid steering is a form of high performance flow steering. By using this mode, mlx4 cards use a fast limited table based steering, in order to enable fast steering of unicast packets to a QP. In order to implement A0 hybrid steering we allocate resources from different zones: (1) General range (2) Special MAC-assigned QPs [RSS, Raw-Ethernet] each has its own region. When we create a rss QP or a raw ethernet (A0 steerable and BF ready) QP, we try hard to allocate the QP from range (2). Otherwise, we try hard not to allocate from this range. However, when the system is pushed to its limits and one needs every resource, the allocator uses every region it can. Meaning, when we run out of raw-eth qps, the allocator allocates from the general range (and the special-A0 area is no longer active). If we run out of RSS qps, the mechanism tries to allocate from the raw-eth QP zone. If that is also exhausted, the allocator will allocate from the general range (and the A0 region is no longer active). Note that if a raw-eth qp is allocated from the general range, it attempts to allocate the range such that bits 6 and 7 (blueflame bits) in the QP number are not set. When the feature is used in SRIOV, the VF has to notify the PF what kind of QP attributes it needs. In order to do that, along with the "Eth QP blueflame" bit, we reserve a new "A0 steerable QP". According to the combination of these bits, the PF tries to allocate a suitable QP. In order to maintain backward compatibility (with older PFs), the PF notifies which QP attributes it supports via QUERY_FUNC_CAP command.
