enic: Add support for PORT_REQUEST_PREASSOCIATE_RR
Current enic code only supports ASSOCIATE and DISASSOCIATE port profile operations. This patch adds enic support for port profile PORT_REQUEST_PREASSOCIATE_RR operation. The VIC adapter (8021qbh) is capable of handling port profile requests done in two steps namely PREASSOCIATE_RR and ASSOCIATE today. The motivation to support PREASSOCIATE_RR comes mainly from its use as an optimization during VM migration ie, to do resource reservation on destination host before resources on source host are released. PREASSOCIATE_RR is a VDP operation and according to the latest at IEEE, 8021qbh will also need to support VDP commands. In addition to handling the new PORT_REQUEST_PREASSOCIATE_RR operation this patch also does the below: - Introduces handlers for PORT_REQUEST operations - Moves most of the port profile handling code to new files enic_pp.[ch] - Uses new fw devcmds for port profile operations Signed-off-by: Roopa Prabhu <roprabhu@cisco.com> Signed-off-by: David Wang <dwang2@cisco.com> Signed-off-by: Christian Benvenuti <benve@cisco.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
