Add HWRM calls to allocate and free TX/RX/CMPL rings along with the associated structs and definitions.
What are these RX/TX/CMPL rings used for? I assume they are different from the RX/TX rings used to send/receive packets, or am I missing something? Also, I see some compilation errors after applying this patch in the series. gcc gives errors about "struct bnxt_ring_struct declared inside parameter list". /Bruce PS: having "struct" at the end of the name of "struct bnxt_ring_struct" seems superflous. Since we don't use typedefs in DPDK, the keyword struct will always appear before the definition, so it shouldn't be needed in the name too.
