[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] ixgbe 82599: Query assignment of queues to Virtual Function

[Qinglai Xiao <jigsaw@gmail.com>]

Physical Function assignes Tx/Rx queues to each VF according to
different schemes[1]. By querying through mailbox, VF is able to
get number of Tx/Rx queues assigned to it.

Note that current Intel ixgbe driver ixgbe-3.18.7 does not fully
support mailbox message IXGBE_VF_GET_QUEUES. The service routine
for IXGBE_VF_GET_QUEUES must be fixed, otherwise PF always return
1 as Tx/Rx queue number.

[1] See section 7.2.1.2.1, 7.1.2.2 and 7.10.2.7.2 of Intel 82599 10
    Gbe Controller Datasheet.
