octeontx2-af: npc: cn20k: Index management

Browse source 
In CN20K silicon, the MCAM is divided vertically into two banks.
Each bank has a depth of 8192.

The MCAM is divided horizontally into 32 subbanks, with each subbank
having a depth of 256.

Each subbank can accommodate either x2 keys or x4 keys. x2 keys are
256 bits in size, and x4 keys are 512 bits in size.

This patch implements the following allocation schemes in NPC.
The allocation API accepts reference (ref), limit, contig, priority,
and count values. For example, specifying ref=100, limit=200,
contig=1, priority=LOW, and count=20 will allocate 20 contiguous
MCAM entries between entries 100 and 200.

1. Contiguous allocation with ref, limit, and priority.
2. Non-contiguous allocation with ref, limit, and priority.
3. Non-contiguous allocation without ref.
4. Contiguous allocation without ref.
