From Mark,

Hi,

This series starts from two refactoring patches performed in mlx5_core
and they are part of a larger series intended to expose the ability
to insert FDB steering rules by the RDMA side.

They are followed by patches which move IB representors to single IB
device. Currently when moving to switchdev mode an IB device is created
per virtual function (and one for the uplink). While initially this was
right approach, the limitation of this model requires us to change it.

Such limitations includes:
 - Inability to share resources between IB devices.
 - Lack of DEVX to allow more control and device specific functionality.
 - Interacting with the E-Switch.
 - Doesn't work well with namespaces.

In this series we move to a single IB device with multiple ports where
each port represents a different virtual function (port 1 is for the
uplink). All the limitations listed above are now resolved and the
software model exposed to users is more cohesive.

Thanks

Mark Bloch (12):
