bnxt_en: Provision for an additional VNIC for ntuple filters
On newer chips that support the ring table index method for ntuple filters, the current scheme of using the same VNIC for both RSS and ntuple filters will not work in all cases. An ntuple filter can only be directed to a destination ring if that destination ring is also in the RSS indirection table. To support ntuple filters with any arbitratry RSS indirection table that may only include a subset of the rings, we need to use a separate VNIC for ntuple filters. This patch provisions the additional VNIC. The next patch will allocate additional VNIC from firmware and set it up.
