similar to: [RFC v2] vhost: introduce mdev based hardware vhost backend

This patch introduces a mdev (mediated device) based hardware vhost backend. This backend is an abstraction of the various hardware vhost accelerators (potentially any device that uses virtio ring can be used as a vhost accelerator). Some generic mdev parent ops are provided for accelerator drivers to support generating mdev instances. What's this =========== The idea is that we can setup a

v2 for internal review - heavily reworked NET_F_MAC patch, matches recent PR-68875 - reordered to put "clean and reset vqs" before "alloc-irq" to make them slightly simpler patches - other minor cleanups for simpler patches These are some fixes for device providing a MAC address, for allocating irq resources later to support vhost use, and for properly cleaning vq info

In this commit, virtqueue operations including: set_vq_num(), set_vq_address(), set_vq_ready() and get_vq_ready() access PCI registers directly to take immediate actions.

This commit synchronize irqs of the virtqueues and config space in the reset routine. Thus ifcvf_stop_hw() and reset() are refactored as well.

This commit implements a new function ifcvf_get_driver_feature() which read driver_features from virtio registers. To be less ambiguous, ifcvf_set_features() is renamed to ifcvf_set_driver_features(), and ifcvf_get_features() is renamed to ifcvf_get_dev_features() which returns the provisioned vDPA device features.

Formerly, ifcvf driver has implemented a lazy-initialization mechanism for the virtqueues and other config space contents, it would store all configurations that passed down from the userspace, then load them to the device config space upon DRIVER_OK. This can not serve live migration, so this series implement an immediate initialization mechanism, which means rather than the former store-load

get_vq_align returns u16 now, but that's not enough for systems/devices with 64K pages. All callers assign it to a u32 variable anyway, so let's just change the return value type to u32.
