> 
> A VSI handle is just a number the driver maintains to uniquely identify a VSI.
> A VSI handle is backed by a VSI number in the hardware. When interacting
> when the hardware, VSI handles are coverted into VSI numbers.
> 
> In commit 0f9d5027a749 ("ice: Refactor VSI allocation, deletion and rebuild
> flow"), VSI handles were introduced but it was used only when creating and
> deleting VSIs. This patch is part one of two patches that expands the use of
> VSI handles across the rest of the driver. Also in this patch, certain parts of
> the code had to be refactored to correctly use VSI handles.
