Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/6] qed: Management interaction & feature changes

All patches in this series either affect direct interaction with the
management firmware, or changes logic relating to some values retrieved
from it.

Patch #1 revises the basic logic for sending messages to the management
firmware and there completion, and is the most significant [at least
code-wise] of the bunch.

Patch #2 changes infrastrcure in a way that should better protect us form
mistakes leading to stack corruption such as was fixed in
bb4802428432 ("qed: Prevent stack corruption on MFW interaction").

Patch #3 corrects some update API endian issue [sent here as it would
create conflicts with #2, and because it's lack would create a rather
insignifcant problem].

Patch #4 removes some unnecessary logging, allowing cleaner forward
compatibility with future management firmware versions.

Patches #5, #6 slightly change the number of possible L2 queues in some
scenarios, leading to the possibility of having more queues / VFS.

Dave,

Please consider applying this series to 'net-next'.

Thanks,
Yuvsl
