sfc: separate out SFC4000 ("Falcon") support into new sfc-falcon driver

Rationale: The differences between Falcon and Siena are in many ways larger
than those between Siena and EF10 (despite Siena being nominally "Falcon-
architecture"); for instance, Falcon has no MCPU, so there is no MCDI.
Removing Falcon support from the sfc driver should simplify the latter,
and avoid the possibility of Falcon support being broken by changes to sfc
(which are rarely if ever tested on Falcon, it being end-of-lifed hardware).

The sfc-falcon driver created in this changeset is essentially a copy of the
sfc driver, but with Siena- and EF10-specific code, including MCDI, removed
and with the "efx_" identifier prefix changed to "ef4_" (for "EFX 4000-
series") to avoid collisions when both drivers are built-in.

This changeset removes Falcon from the sfc driver's PCI ID table; then in
sfc I've removed obvious Falcon-related code: I removed the Falcon NIC
functions, Falcon PHY code, and EFX_REV_FALCON_*, then fixed up everything
that referenced them.

Also, increment minor version of both drivers (to 4.1).

For now, CONFIG_SFC selects CONFIG_SFC_FALCON, so that updating old configs
doesn't cause Falcon support to disappear; but that should be undone at
some point in the future.

# 539de7c5 11-Aug-2016 Bert Kenward <bkenward@solarflare.com>

sfc: set interrupt moderation via MCDI

SFN8000-series NICs require a new method of setting interrupt moderation,
via MCDI. This is indicated by a workaround flag. This new MCDI command
takes an explicit time value rather than a number of ticks. It therefore
makes sense to also store the moderation values in terms of time, since
that is what the ethtool interface is interested in.

# 8127d661 29-Aug-2013 Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

sfc: Add support for Solarflare SFC9100 family

This adds support for the EF10 network controller architecture and the
SFC9100 family, starting with SFC9120 'Farmingdale', and bumps the
driver version to 4.0.

New features in the SFC9100 family include:

- Flexible allocation of internal resources to PCIe physical and virtual
functions under firmware control
- RX event merging to reduce DMA writes at high packet rates
- Integrated RX timestamping
- PIO buffers for lower TX latency
- Firmware-driven data path that supports additional offload features
and filter types
- Delivery of packets between functions and to multiple recipients,
allowing firmware to implement a vswitch
- Multiple RX flow hash (RSS) contexts with their own hash keys and
indirection tables
- 40G MAC (single port only)

...not all of which are enabled in this initial driver or the initial
firmware release.

Much of the new code is by Jon Cooper.

sfc: EFX_WORKAROUND_ALWAYS is really specific to Falcon-architecture

The workarounds that currently use EFX_WORKAROUND_ALWAYS are in
Falcon-specific or Falcon-arch-specific code, so get rid of the
conditions altogether. Add/move comments as appropriate.
