net/mlx5: E-Switch, Move source port on reg_c0 to the upper 16 bits
Multi chain support requires the miss path to continue the processing from the last chain id, and for that we need to save the chain miss tag (a mapping for 32bit chain id) on reg_c0 which will come in a next patch. Currently reg_c0 is exclusively used to store the source port metadata, giving it 32bit, it is created from 16bits of vcha_id, and 16bits of vport number. We will move this source port metadata to upper 16bits, and leave the lower bits for the chain miss tag. We compress the reg_c0 source port metadata to 16bits by taking 8 bits from vhca_id, and 8bits from the vport number. Since we compress the vport number to 8bits statically, and leave two top ids for special PF/ECPF numbers, we will only support a max of 254 vports with this strategy.
