Hi Dave, 

This series further enhances the support for mlx4 single ported VFs 
introduced in 3.15 to work over IB ports too. 

Just as quick reminder, the ConnectX3 device family exposes one PCI device 
which serves both ports. 

This can be non-optimal under virtualization schemes where the admin
would like the VF to expose one interface to the VM, etc.

Since all the VF interaction with the firmware passes through the PF
driver, we can emulate to the VF they have one port, and further create
a set of the VFs which act on port1 of the device and another set which
acts on port2.

Or.

  IB/mlx4: Convert slave port before building address-handle
  net/mlx4_core: Modify port values when generting EQEs for VFs
  net/mlx4_core: Adjust the schedule queue port for single ported IB VFs
  net/mlx4_core: Adjust the schedule queue port in reset-to-init too
  net/mlx4_core: Enable single ported IB VFs
