This change constitutes a major step towards supporting multiple
firmware commands in flight by maintaining a separate response buffer
for the duration of each request. These firmware commands are also
known as Hardware Resource Manager (HWRM) commands.  Using separate
response buffers requires an API change in order for callers to be
able to free the buffer when done.

parisc:allmodconfig, and probably others:

drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt.c: In function 'bnxt_init_board':
drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt.c:12280:27: error: 'struct bnxt' has no member named 'db_lock'

There is a difference between "#ifdef writeq" and "#if BITS_PER_LONG == 32".
