This series adds support for port (VF) representors to the mlx5 PMD, which can be instantiated using the standard "representor" device parameter.
Note the PMD only probes existing representors which exist as Verbs devices; their creation is part of the host system configuration. v2 changes: - See individual patches for details. - Rebased series.
