[PATCH v25 net-next 01/10] net/nebula-matrix: add minimum nbl build framework

["illusion.wang" <illusion.wang@nebula-matrix.com>]

From: illusion wang <illusion.wang@nebula-matrix.com>

This patch adds the minimum build infrastructure:
1. Add Kconfig, Makefile and MAINTAINERS entries;
2. Add corresponding driver documentation;
3. Add PCI driver skeleton with empty stubs for nbl driver.

+================================================================
+Linux Base Driver for Nebula-matrix m18110-NIC/m18000-NIC family
+================================================================
+
+Overview:
+=========
+The m18110-NIC/m18000-NIC is a series of network interface cards for the Data
+Center Area.
+
+The driver supports link-speed 100GbE/25GE/10GE.
+
+m18110-NIC/m18000-NIC devices support MSI-X interrupt vector for each Tx/Rx
+queue and interrupt moderation.
+
+m18110-NIC/m18000-NIC devices support also various offload features such as
+checksum offload, Receive-Side Scaling(RSS).
+
+Support
+=======
+
+For more information about m18110-NIC/m18000-NIC, please visit the following URL:
+https://www.nebula-matrix.com/snic_s1000_en
+
+If an issue is identified with the released source code on the supported kernel
+with a supported adapter, email the specific information related to the issue to
+open@nebula-matrix.com.
