New 7.0 FW: bnx2x, cnic, bnx2i, bnx2fc
New FW/HSI (7.0):
- Added support to 578xx chips
- Improved HSI - much less driver's direct access to the FW internal
memory needed.
New implementation of the HSI handling layer in the bnx2x (bnx2x_sp.c):
- Introduced chip dependent objects that have chip independent interfaces
for configuration of MACs, multicast addresses, Rx mode, indirection table,
fast path queues and function initialization/cleanup.
- Objects functionality is based on the private function pointers, which
allows not only a per-chip but also PF/VF differentiation while still
preserving the same interface towards the driver.
- Objects interface is not influenced by the HSI changes which do not require
providing new parameters keeping the code outside the bnx2x_sp.c invariant
with regard to such HSI chnages.
Changes in a CNIC, bnx2fc and bnx2i modules due to the new HSI.

[SCSI] bnx2fc: Broadcom FCoE offload driver
This driver is for Broadcom Netxtreme II 57712 chip. The following
patch contains the driver sources for bnx2fc driver. libfc/libfcoe
changes to enable bnx2fc have already gone through the fcoe
tree. bnx2fc is a SCSI low level driver that interfaces with SCSI
midlayer, libfc, libfcoe, cnic modules. bnx2fc driver uses services
of libfc for slow path operations such as FIP and fabric
discovery. The fast path IO perations are performed after offloading
the session information to the underlying FCoE firmware.
