Jeroen de Borst 57718b60df gve: Add flow steering adminq commands
Add new adminq commands for the driver to configure and query flow rules
that are stored in the device. Flow steering rules are assigned with a
location that determines the relative order of the rules.

Flow rules can run up to an order of millions. In such cases, storing
a full copy of the rules in the driver to prepare for the ethtool query
is infeasible while querying them from the device is better. That needs
to be optimized too so that we don't send a lot of adminq commands. The
solution here is to store a limited number of rules/rule ids in the
driver in a cache. Use dma_pool to allocate 4k bytes which lets device
write at most 46 flow rules(4096/88) or 1024 rule ids(4096/4) at a time.

For configuring flow rules, there are 3 sub-commands:
- ADD which adds a rule at the location supplied
- DEL which deletes the rule at the location supplied
- RESET which clears all currently active rules in the device

For querying flow rules, there are also 3 sub-commands:
- QUERY_RULES corresponds to ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRULE. It fills the rules in
  the allocated cache after querying the device
- QUERY_RULES_IDS corresponds to ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL. It fills the
  rule_ids in the allocated cache after querying the device
- QUERY_RULES_STATS corresponds to ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLCNT. It queries the
  device's current flow rule number and the supported max flow rule
  limit

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

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.
