net/mlx5e: Add SW implementation to support IPsec 64 bit soft and hard limits
The CX7 cards which support IPsec packet offload use 32 bits to configure soft and hard packet limits. This is not enough as the software part using 64 bits. The needed functionality of supporting 64 bits is implemented through mlx5 abstraction layer, which will ensure that HW is reconfigured on-demand every 2^31 packets. To simulate the 64 bit IPsec soft/hard limits, we divide the soft/hard limits to multiple interrupts (rounds). Each round counts 2^31 packets. Once the counter is less than or equal to 2^31, the soft event is raised and software sets the bit 31 of the counter and decrement the round counter.
