Self Nack. Will split this patch set to 2 ones. One provides support of the
mailbox interruption for PF link up/down.
The other is for the mechanism of VF link recovery. For there's discussion
about if we need to handle the link up/down
event in driver layer. No matter the driver should handle the event or not, we
need to mailbox interruption first.
