Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/4] Reducing memory usage of i40e for kdump

Currently, i40e consumes lots of memory and causes the failure of kdump.

After reducing the allocation of tx/rx/arg/asq ring buffers to the
minimum, the memory consumption is significantly reduced,
    - x86_64: 85.1MB to 1.2MB 
    - POWER9: 15368.5MB to 20.8MB

i40iw consumes even much more memory. For the above x86_64 machine, it
alone consumes 1513.7MB. So disable registering an i40e client driver
for a kdump kernel.

After applying this patch set, we can still achieve 100MB+/s network
speed which I think is limited by the net link (1000Mb/s) and this is 
sufficient for kdump.
