From: VSR Burru <veerasenareddy.bu...@cavium.com> The LiquidIO adapter has processor cores that can run Linux. This patch adds support to create a virtual Ethernet interface on host to communicate with applications running on Linux in the LiquidIO adapter. The virtual Ethernet interface also provides login access to Linux on LiquidIO through ssh for management and debugging.
