This series adds the admin channel infrastructure and mailbox (MBOX)
protocol needed for V2 SR-IOV support in the enic driver.

The V2 SR-IOV design uses a direct PF-VF communication channel built on
dedicated WQ/RQ/CQ hardware resources and an MSI-X interrupt.

Firmware capability and admin channel infrastructure (patches 1-4):
  - Probe-time firmware feature check for V2 SR-IOV support
  - Admin channel open/close, RQ buffer management, CQ service
    with MSI-X interrupt and workqueue-based polling

MBOX protocol and VF enable (patches 5-10):
  - MBOX message types, core send/receive, PF and VF handlers
  - V2 SR-IOV enable wiring with admin channel setup
  - V2 VF probe with admin channel and PF registration

Hi Satish,

There is AI-generated review of this patch-set available on both
https://sashiko.dev and https://netdev-ai.bots.linux.dev/sashiko/
I would appreciate it if you could look over that with a view
to addressing any issues that directly affect this patch.
At very least the scheduling while atomic issue in patch 9/10 reported
by both sashikos looks real and should be addressed.
