7227909340 igbvf: avoid reset storms due to mailbox issues
From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@intel.com>

This change makes it so that reset/interrupt storms can be avoided when
there are mailbox issues.  The new behavior is to only allow the device to
trigger mailbox related resets only once every 10 seconds.

a7d5ca40ff igbvf: remove skb_dma_map/unmap call from drivers
This patch removes the skb_dma_map/unmap calls from the igbvf driver due to
the fact that it does not play well with HW IOMMU when combined with
transmitting cloned skbs.

2d16577106 igbvf: fix unused external references
The igbvbf driver exposed several unused extrnal references due to the fact
that code was copied from igb and then some functionality was removed.
This changes that so that unused functions are either removed or made
static.

d4e0fe01a3 igbvf: add new driver to support 82576 virtual functions
This adds an igbvf driver to handle virtual functions provided by the
igb driver when SR-IOV has been enabled.  A virtual function is a
lightweight pci-e function that supports a single queue and shares
resources with the 82576 physical function contained within the igb
driver.

To spawn virtual functions from the igb driver all that is needed is to
enable CONFIG_PCI_IOV and have an 82576 Ethernet adapter on a system that
supports SR-IOV in the BIOS.  The virtual functions will appear after the
interface is loaded.
