> provide RDMA
> 
> Register client virtbus device on the virtbus for the RDMA virtbus driver
> (irdma) to bind to. It allows to realize a single RDMA driver capable of working
> with multiple netdev drivers over multi-generation Intel HW supporting
> RDMA.
> There is also no load ordering dependencies between i40e and irdma.
> 
> Summary of changes:
> * Support to add/remove virtbus devices
> * Add 2 new client ops.
> 	* i40e_client_device_register() which is called during RDMA
> 	  probe() per PF. Validate client drv OPs and schedule service
> 	  task to call open()
> 	* i40e_client_device_unregister() called during RDMA remove()
> 	  per PF. Call client close() and release_qvlist.
> * The global register/unregister calls exported for i40iw are retained
>   until i40iw is removed from the kernel.
