The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

Page pods are used for direct data placement, this patch
enables eDRAM page pods if firmware supports this feature.

This patch does not change any functionality but avoids that sparse
complains about endianness.

Add common library module(libcxgb.ko) for
Chelsio drivers to remove duplicate code.
Code for iSCSI DDP Page Pod Manager is moved
from cxgb4.ko to libcxgb.ko. Earlier only cxgbit.ko
was using this code, now cxgb3i and cxgb4i will
also use common Page Pod manager code.
In future this module will have common connection
management and hardware specific code that can be
shared by multiple Chelsio drivers.
