Thomas Falcon 723ad91613 ibmvnic: Add ethtool private flag for driver-defined queue limits
When choosing channel amounts and ring sizes, the maximums in the
ibmvnic driver are defined by the virtual i/o server management
partition. Even though they are defined as maximums, the client
driver may in fact successfully request resources that exceed
these limits, which are mostly dependent on a user's hardware

With this in mind, provide an ethtool flag that when enabled will
allow the user to request resources limited by driver-defined
maximums instead of limits defined by the management partition.
The driver will try to honor the user's request but may not allowed
by the management partition. In this case, the driver requests
as close as it can get to the desired amount until it succeeds.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
