    bnx2x: Use correct fastpath version for VFs. · 02dc4025
    Yuval Mintz authored
    Our FW can support several fastpath HSI [for backward compatibility] but up
    until now VFs were always configured to use latest fastpath HSI [although VF
    driver might be older and use an older fastpath HSI].
    
    For linux drivers, the differences are insignificant since driver never
    utilized features that were overridden by the HSI change. But for VMs running
    other operating systems this might be a problem.
    In addition, eventually FW might change fastpath HSI in such a manner that
    backward compatibility WILL break unless configured with proper version.
    
    This patch fixes the issue for other operating system VMs, as well as lays
    the ground work for forward compatibility in regard to the fastpath HSI.
