qed: Remove e4_ and _e4 from FW HSI

The existing qed/qede/qedr/qedi/qedf code uses chip-specific naming in
structures, functions, variables and defines in FW HSI (Hardware
Software Interface).

The new FW version introduced a generic naming convention in HSI
in-which the same code will be used across different versions
for simpler maintainability. It also eases in providing support for
new features.

With this patch every "_e4" or "e4_" prefix or suffix is not needed
anymore and it will be removed.

qed: Add abstraction for different hsi values per chip

The number of BTB blocks was modified to be different between the two chip
flavors supported (BB/K2) as a result, this lead to a re-write of selecting
the default hsi value based on the chip.
This patch creates a lookup table for hsi values per chip rather than
ask again and again for every value.

qed: FW 8.42.2.0 Additional ll2 type

LL2 queues were a limited resource due to FW constraints.
This FW introduced a new resource which is a context based ll2 queue
(memory on host). The additional ll2 queues are required for RDMA SRIOV.
The code refers to the previous ll2 queues as ram-based or legacy, and the
new queues as ctx-based.
This change decreased the "legacy" ram-based queues therefore the first ll2
queue used for iWARP was converted to the ctx-based ll2 queue.
This feature also exposed a bug in the DIRECT_REG_WR64 macro implementation
which didn't have an effect in other use cases.

qed: Utilize FW 8.20.0.0

This pushes qed [and as result, all qed* drivers] into using 8.20.0.0
firmware. The changes are mostly contained in qed with minor changes
to qedi due to some HSI changes.

Content-wise, the firmware contains fixes to various issues exposed
since the release of the previous firmware, including:
- Corrects iSCSI fast retransmit when data digest is enabled.
- Stop draining packets when receiving several consecutive PFCs.
- Prevent possible assertion when consecutively opening/closing
many connections.
- Prevent possible assertion due to too long BDQ fetch time.

In addition, the new firmware would allow us to later add iWARP support
in qed and qedr.

This patch advances the qed* drivers into using the newer firmware -
This solves several firmware bugs, mostly related [but not limited to]
various init/deinit issues in various offloaded protocols.

It also introduces a major 4-Cached SGE change in firmware, which can be

In addition, this firmware is required for supporting the new QL41xxx

- Better blocking of malicious VFs.
- After FLR, Tx-switching [internal routing] of packets might

- Deletion of unicast MAC filters would sometime have side-effect
of corrupting the MAC filters configred for a device.
It also contains fixes for future qed* drivers that *hopefully* would be

In addition, it would allow driver some new functionality, including:

can't and instead utilize the VF->PF channel to query the PF for needed
information.

qed: Add VF->PF channel infrastructure

Communication between VF and PF is based on a dedicated HW channel;
VF will prepare a messge, and by signaling the HW the PF would get a
notification of that message existance. The PF would then copy the
message, process it and DMA an answer back to the VF as a response.

The messages themselves are TLV-based - allowing easier backward/forward
compatibility.

This patch adds the infrastructure of the channel on the PF side -
starting with the arrival of the notification and ending with DMAing
the response back to the VF.

It also adds a dummy-response as reference, as it only lays the
groundwork of the communication; it doesn't really add support of any
actual messages.

qed: fix handling of concurrent ramrods.

Concurrent non-blocking slowpath ramrods can be completed
out-of-order on the completion chain. Recycling completed elements,
while previously sent elements are still completion pending,
can lead to overriding of active elements on the chain. Furthermore,
sending pending slowpath ramrods currently lacks the update of the
chain element physical pointer.

This patch:
* Ensures that ramrods are sent to the FW with
consecutive echo values.
* Handles out-of-order completions by freeing only first
successive completed entries.
* Updates the chain element physical pointer when copying
a pending element into a free element for sending.

qed: Add module with basic common support

The Qlogic Everest Driver is the backend module for the QL4xxx ethernet
products by Qlogic.

This module serves two main purposes:
1. It's responsible to contain all the common code that will be shared
between the various drivers that would be used with said line of
products. Flows such as chip initialization and de-initialization
fall under this category.

2. It would abstract the protocol-specific HW & FW components, allowing
the protocol drivers to have a clean APIs which is detached in its
slowpath configuration from the actual HSI.

This adds a very basic module without any protocol-specific bits.
I.e., this adds a basic implementation that almost entirely falls under
the first category.
