    qed: Multiple qzone queues for VFs · 08bc8f15
    Mintz, Yuval authored
    This adds the infrastructure for supporting VFs that want to open
    multiple transmission queues on the same queue-zone.
    At this point, there are no VFs that actually request this functionality,
    but later patches would remedy that.
    
     a. VF and PF would communicate the capability during ACQUIRE;
        Legacy VFs would continue on behaving as they do today
    
     b. PF would communicate number of supported CIDs to the VF
        and would enforce said limitation
    
     c. Whenever VF passes a request for a given queue configuration
        it would also pass an associated index within said queue-zone
