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.
