Ben Hutchings 8127d661e7 sfc: Add support for Solarflare SFC9100 family
This adds support for the EF10 network controller architecture and the
SFC9100 family, starting with SFC9120 'Farmingdale', and bumps the
driver version to 4.0.

New features in the SFC9100 family include:

- Flexible allocation of internal resources to PCIe physical and virtual
  functions under firmware control
- RX event merging to reduce DMA writes at high packet rates
- Integrated RX timestamping
- PIO buffers for lower TX latency
- Firmware-driven data path that supports additional offload features
  and filter types
- Delivery of packets between functions and to multiple recipients,
  allowing firmware to implement a vswitch
- Multiple RX flow hash (RSS) contexts with their own hash keys and
  indirection tables
- 40G MAC (single port only)

...not all of which are enabled in this initial driver or the initial
firmware release.

Much of the new code is by Jon Cooper.

---help---
This driver supports 10-gigabit Ethernet cards based on
the Solarflare SFC4000, SFC9000-family and SFC9100-family
controllers.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
will be called sfc.

depends on SFC && MTD && !(SFC=y && MTD=m)
default y
---help---
This exposes the on-board flash and/or EEPROM as MTD devices
(e.g. /dev/mtd1). This is required to update the firmware or
the boot configuration under Linux.
config SFC_MCDI_MON
bool "Solarflare SFC9000/SFC9100-family hwmon support"
depends on SFC && HWMON && !(SFC=y && HWMON=m)
default y
---help---
This exposes the on-board firmware-managed sensors as a
hardware monitor device.
config SFC_SRIOV
bool "Solarflare SFC9000-family SR-IOV support"
depends on SFC && PCI_IOV
default y
---help---
This enables support for the SFC9000 I/O Virtualization
features, allowing accelerated network performance in
virtualized environments.
