mlx4_core: resource tracking for HCA resources used by guests
The resource tracker is used to track usage of HCA resources by the different
guests.
Virtual functions (VFs) are attached to guest operating systems but
resources are allocated from the same pool and are assigned to VFs. It is
essential that hostile/buggy guests not be able to affect the operation of
other VFs, possibly attached to other guest OSs since ConnectX firmware is not
tolerant to misuse of resources.
The resource tracker module associates each resource with a VF and maintains
state information for the allocated object. It also defines allowed state
transitions and enforces them.
Relationships between resources are also referred to. For example, CQs are
pointed to by QPs, so it is forbidden to destroy a CQ if a QP refers to it.
ICM memory is always accessible through the primary function and hence it is
allocated by the owner of the primary function.
When a guest dies, an FLR is generated for all the VFs it owns and all the
resources it used are freed.
The tracked resource types are: QPs, CQs, SRQs, MPTs, MTTs, MACs, RES_EQs,
and XRCDNs.

mlx4_core: cq modifications for SRIOV
CQs are resources which are allocated and tracked by the PF driver.
In multifunction mode, the allocation and icm mapping is done in
the resource tracker (later patch in this sequence).
To accomplish this, we have "work" functions whose names start with
"__", and "request" functions (same name, no __). If we are operating
in multifunction mode, the request function actually results in
comm-channel commands being sent (ALLOC_RES or FREE_RES).
The PF-driver comm-channel handler will ultimately invoke the
"work" (__) function and return the result.
If we are not in multifunction mode, the "work" handler is invoked
immediately.

mlx4_core: Add "native" argument to mlx4_cmd and its callers (where needed)
For SRIOV, some Hypervisor commands can be executed directly (native = 1).
Others should go through the command wrapper flow (for tracking resource
usage, for example, or for changing some HCA configurations that slaves
need to be notified of).
This patch sets the groundwork for this capability -- adding the correct
value of "native" in each case.
Note that if SRIOV is not activated, this parameter has no effect.

drivers/net: Add export.h to files using EXPORT_SYMBOL/THIS_MODULE
These were getting the macros from an implicit module.h
include via device.h, but we are planning to clean that up.

drivers/net: Add export.h to wireless/brcm80211/brcmfmac/bcmsdh.c
This relatively recently added file uses EXPORT_SYMBOL and hence
needs export.h included so that it is compatible with the module.h
split up work.
