> The DCF (Device Config Function) is a named trust VF (alway with ID 0, single
> entity per PF port) that can act as a sole controlling entity to exercise advance
> functionality such as adding switch rules for the rest of VFs.
> 
> To achieve this approach, this VF is permitted to send some basic AdminQ
> commands to the PF through virtual channel (mailbox), then the PF driver sends
> these commands to the firmware, and returns the response to the VF again
> through virtual channel.
> 
> The AdminQ command from DCF is split into two parts: one is the AdminQ
> descriptor, the other is the buffer (the descriptor has BUF flag set).
> These two parts should be sent in order, so that the PF can handle them
> correctly.
