vmxnet3 emulation has recently added several new features which includes
support for new commands the driver can issue to emulation, change in
descriptor fields etc. This patch series extends the vmxnet3 driver to
leverage these new features.

Compatibility is maintained using existing vmxnet3 versioning mechanism as
follows:
 - new features added to vmxnet3 emulation are associated with new vmxnet3
   version viz. vmxnet3 version 3.
 - emulation advertises all the versions it supports to the driver.
 - during initialization, vmxnet3 driver picks the highest version number
 supported by both the emulation and the driver and configures emulation
 to run at that version.

In particular, following changes are introduced:

Series applied, thanks.
