The purpose of this series is to allow iavf to use more than 16 queue
pairs, in two modes: up to 64 and up to 256 queue pairs.

In order to support more queues for VF, we must give it a bigger RSS
table (GLOBAL LUT or PF LUT). There are 16 GLOBAL LUTs on E810, and one
PF LUT for every PF on given card. Both kinds could be (re)assigned to
a VF, while a PF must hold at least one of them at any given moment.
GLOBAL LUT allows VF to use up to 64 queues, PF LUT lets it use up to
256 queues.

RSS LUTs are exposed to the user for assignment via devlink resources
API, which I have extended to make it possible.

Devlink changes:
1. Extend shared devlink by two callbacks, that give the driver
   a constructor/destructor for the priv data attached to the shared
   devlink instance. The constructor gets an additional param, used in
   "ice: represent RSS LUTs as devlink resources". mlx5 is touched only
   to adjust to the API change.
   ice uses the shared devlink instance as a "whole device" aggregate
   over all PFs on given card, instead of its custom xarray.
2. Extend devlink resources API to allow user to assign resources.
   Before, only the driver could assign resources, without any way for
   the user to interact. Now the driver could register an occupancy
   setter (.occ_set()) for a resource. ice RSS LUTs are exposed that
   way. It was proposed as an RFC in Feb 2025, link in the patch.
3. Add devlink_alloc_drv(), a variant of devlink_alloc() that takes the
   owning driver explicitly. ice creates a devlink instance for each of
   its VFs, while the VF device could be unbound, or bound to iavf or
   vfio-pci at that time.

There are also patches for, Admin Queue extension, GLOBAL RSS LUT
alloc/free, and two rather big "new opcodes" patches, by Ahmed (iavf)
and Brett (ice).

Finally there is a patch that adds devlink instance for VF and
registers devlink resources on it, combined with all the glue code to
make actual use of the whole series and accept the larger number of
queues for VF. This (the last) patch contains usage examples.

There is one resource added that just groups GLOBAL and PF LUTs under
it, so there are 3 rows of data for each device (PF/VF/whole-dev):
$ devlink resource show pci/0000:18:00.0
pci/0000:18:00.0:
  name rss size 1 unit entry size_min 0 size_max 2 size_gran 1 dpipe_tables none
    resources:
      name lut_512 size 0 unit entry size_min 0 size_max 1 size_gran 1 dpipe_tables none
      name lut_2048 size 1 unit entry size_min 0 size_max 1 size_gran 1 dpipe_tables none

Technically the aggregate "name rss" line could be eliminated, with
just the two last ones kept (then renamed to "rss_lut_2048" form, from
the current "rss/lut_2048"). I like it as it is, but this is just an
opinion, I'm open to discussion.

Things AI reports but I don't want to change:
 * hardening against a malicious or buggy FW: we have to trust the FW
 * hardening of the VF against a malicious or buggy PF: likewise, VF has
   to trust its PF; in particular, I'm not adding checks for the PF
   reporting qregion_width so big that BIT(qregion_width) in
   iavf_fill_rss_lut() overflows and yields a modulo by zero
 * non-atomic updates of iavf adapter->flags: pre-existing pattern in
   the whole driver, out of scope of this series
 * lock inversion between PF devlink lock and pf->vfs.table_lock:
   ice_tear_down_devlink_rate_tree() takes them in the opposite order
   than ice_start_vfs() -> ice_eswitch_attach_vf(); pre-existing, will
   be fixed separately; this series takes table_lock first

v3:
 * ice: fix rollback of VF queue configuration to disable queues by
   their IDs, not by qpair index, as the config could be now split into
   many virtchnl messages
 * ice: register PF devlink resources only in the regular probe path,
   not in FW recovery mode
 * ice: don't free the user RSS LUT in ice_vsi_decfg(), it was done
   outside of pf->rss_lut_lock, and ice_vsi_cfg_def() frees it anyway
   when the LUT size changes
 * iavf: auto-request queues in LARGE mode only at init, not on every
   reset, and only after VSI and RSS fields are initialized
 * iavf: schedule a VF reset when RSS key/LUT reallocation fails
 * devlink: keep size of .occ_set() resources in sync with the getter;
   WARN on registering only one of .occ_set()/.occ_get()
 * devlink: new patch, add devlink_alloc_drv(), so ice owns the VF
   devlink instance, regardless of the driver bound to the VF
 * ice: create VF devlinks only after all VFs are started, not while
   ice_start_vfs() can still fail
 * ice: reject out of range itr_idx in VIRTCHNL_OP_MAP_QUEUE_VECTOR
 * ice: fill the new RSS LUT under rss_lut_lock, keep the PF LUT zeroed
   when RXHASH is disabled
 * ice: restore VF aggregator node accounting in ice_vsi_decfg()
 * ice: drop PF RSS LUT ownership also in ice_deinit_pf(), as
   ice_vsi_decfg() skips it after a NO_INIT VSI rebuild
 * ice: restore default RSS LUT assignment of PF and its VFs after
   reset, as FW drops it
 * ice: check VF VSI for NULL in ice_vc_request_qs_msg()
 * ice: fix RSS LUT tracking on dual-NAC E825C: each NAC numbers its
   PFs and global LUTs from 0, so offset secondary NAC PFs by 4, and
   keep a separate global LUT table for the secondary NAC
 * ice: derive VF rss_size from its queue count and LUT capacity on
   each VSI config, instead of keeping a stale value
 * ice: wake up service task when scheduling a deferred VF reset
 * ice: lower VF queue count to the capacity of its new RSS LUT when the
   LUT shrinks, instead of keeping the queues allocated and offering them
   to iavf without VIRTCHNL_VF_LARGE_NUM_QPAIRS

v2:
 * drop "ice: simplify ice_vc_dis_qs_msg() a little", already applied
 * devlink: propagate the .shd_init() error to the caller, so
   devlink_shd_get() returns ERR_PTR() now; register the shared
   instance only after successful .shd_init(); document the new ops
 * devlink: document the .occ_set() mode of resources
 * ice: prefix the shared devlink id with "ice:", handle errors of
   devl_nested_devlink_set()
 * iavf: stop multi-message virtchnl ops (queue config, queue-vector
   mapping) at the first error or PF NACK, keep the op pending on
   timeout
 * iavf: fix queue and RSS (re)negotiation on init, reset and
   ethtool -L
 * ice: serialize devlink RSS LUT changes with ethtool -x/-X/-L, RXHASH
   toggle and VSI (re)configuration, by new pf->rss_lut_lock; make ADQ
   and devlink RSS LUT reassignment mutually exclusive
 * ice: limit VF queue count and PF RSS size to the capacity of the
   current RSS LUT
 * ice: create VF devlink together with the VF, rework deferred VF reset
 * many smaller fixes, mostly after Sashiko review; per-patch changelogs
   are under "---", together with Sashiko suggestions that I decided
   not to apply, and why
