c27a02cd94 mlx4_en: Add driver for Mellanox ConnectX 10GbE NIC
The Mellanox ConnectX can operate as an InfiniBand adapter, as an
Ethernet NIC, or as a Fibre Channel (FC) HBA.  The kernel has a
low-level driver, mlx4_core, which handles multiplexing access to the
device, and there is also already an InfiniBad driver, mlx4_ib.

This patch adds a new driver, mlx4_en, which implements a standard
Ethernet NIC driver.

225c7b1fee IB/mlx4: Add a driver Mellanox ConnectX InfiniBand adapters
Add an InfiniBand driver for Mellanox ConnectX adapters.  Because
these adapters can also be used as ethernet NICs and Fibre Channel 
HBAs, the driver is split into two modules: 
 
  mlx4_core: Handles low-level things like device initialization and 
    processing firmware commands.  Also controls resource allocation 
    so that the InfiniBand, ethernet and FC functions can share a 
    device without stepping on each other. 
 
  mlx4_ib: Handles InfiniBand-specific things; plugs into the 
    InfiniBand midlayer.
