Today IP tool allows configuring only maximum bandwidth.
Likewise minimum bandwidth can also be configured for a VF. It puts
lower limit on the VF bandwidth. VF is guaranteed to have a bandwidth
of at least this value.

With this change, user can alter minimum bandwidth rate.

This change will also require change in IP tool. I am also sending that
patch separately.

The below patch series has 2 patches:
1st patch is a kernel patch that adds required support in kernel.
2nd patch adds support in qlcnic driver.

Please comment.

Thanks,
Sucheta.
