1.Add nbl min build infrastructure for nbl driver.

2.Implemented the framework of pci device initialization.
+============================================================
+Linux Base Driver for Nebula-matrix M18100-NIC family
+============================================================
Shouldn't these lines also be the length of the text?
+Overview:
+=========
+M18100-NIC is a series of network interface card for the Data Center Area.
+
+The driver supports link-speed 100GbE/25GE/10GE.
+
+M18100-NIC devices support MSI-X interrupt vector for each Tx/Rx queue and
+interrupt moderation.
+
+M18100-NIC devices support also various offload features such as checksum offload,
+Receive-Side Scaling(RSS).
+
+Supported PCI vendor ID/device IDs:
+===================================

+1f0f:3405 - M18110 Family BASE-T PF
+1f0f:3406 - M18110 Lx Family BASE-T PF

Please don't list all the SKUs what's the point. PCIe device DB is 
the place for that.

What makes Sam Chen not have a dot in between name and surname?
Maybe let's use the more usual notation and remove the dots?
