Subject: [net-next 0/8][pull request] Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-09-17

This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf.

Shannon provides updates to i40e and i40evf to resolve an issue with the
nvmupdate utility.  First renames a variable name to reduce confusion and
to differentiate it from the actual user variable.  Then added the ability
to save the admin queue write back descriptor if a caller supplies a
buffer for it to be saved into.  Added a new GetStatus command so that
the NVM update tool can query the current status instead of doing fake
write requests to probe for readiness.  Added wait states to the NVM
update state machine to signify when waiting for an update operation to
finish, whether we are in the middle of a set of write operations, or we
are now idle but waiting.  Then added a facility to run admin queue
commands through the NVM update utility in order to allow the update
tools to interact with the firmware and do special commands needed for
updates and configuration changes.  Also added a facility to recover the
result of a previously run admin queue command.
