This series restores all the control path functionality removed in prior series "net/mlx4: trim and refactor entire PMD", including:
- Promiscuous mode. - All multicast mode. - MAC address configuration. - Support for multiple simultaneous MAC addresses. - Reception of broadcast and user-defined multicast traffic. - VLAN filters. - RSS. This rework also results in the following enhancements: - Support for multiple flow rule priorities (up to 4096). - Much more comprehensive error messages when failing to create or apply flow rules. - Flow rules with the RSS action targeting disparate queues can now overlap (as long as they take HW limitations into account). - RSS contexts can be created/destroyed on demand (they were previously fixed once and for all after applying the first flow rule). - RSS hash key can be configured per context. - Rx objects have a smaller memory footprint. Note that it should be applied directly before the following series: "new mlx4 datapath bypassing ibverbs" For which a new version based on top of this one will be submitted soon.
