this series of patches exposes the bandwidth allocation hardware support of
the Intel 82576. It does so through a rather hackish sysfs entry. That
interface is just intended for testing so that the exposed hardware feature
can be exercised. I would like to find a generic way to expose this feature
to user-space.

v2
* Remove the patch "Initialise adapter->vfs_allocated_count in
  igb_init_vf()" as it causes a panic.

v3
* Incorporate several suggestions from Alexander Duyck
  as noted in the per-patch changelogs
