This patch-set add the support for floating VEB in i40e.
All the VFs VSIs can decide whether to connect to the legacy VEB/VEPA or
the floating VEB. When connect to the floating VEB a new floating VEB is
created. Now all the VFs need to connect to floating VEB or legacy VEB,
cannot connect to both of them. The PF and VMDQ,FD VSIs connect to
the old legacy VEB/VEPA.

All the VEB/VEPA concepts are not specific for FVL, they are defined in the
802.1Qbg spec.

This floating VEB only take effects on the specific version F/W.

Zhe Tao (2):
  Support floating VEB config
  Add floating VEB support in i40e
  Add global reset support for i40e
Thanks for these patches, but at this stage in the development process we are
past the feature-freeze deadline, so these patches need to be deferred until the
16.07 release.
