The LiquidIO adapter has processor cores that can run Linux. This patch
set 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.
Change Log:
V1 -> V2
Only patch #2 was changed:
* Removed inline functions in .c files
* Removed useless, almost-empty functions
* Revised if-statement under "/* Check for all conditions ..."
* Replaced "if (skb_shinfo(skb)->nr_frags == 0)" with
"if (!skb_shinfo(skb)->nr_frags)"
