Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 0/6] net/mlx5: Memory optimizations

This series provides knobs which will enable users to
minimize memory consumption of mlx5 Functions (PF/VF/SF).
mlx5 exposes two new generic devlink params for EQ size
configuration and uses devlink generic param max_macs.

Patches summary:
 - Patches-1-2 Provides I/O EQ size param which enables to save
   up to 128KB.
 - Patches-3-4 Provides event EQ size param which enables to save
   up to 512KB.
 - Patch-5 Clarify max_macs param.
 - Patch-6 Provides max_macs param which enables to save up to 70KB

In total, this series can save up to 700KB per Function.

changelog:
v1->v2:
- convert io_eq_size and event_eq_size from devlink_resources to
  generic devlink_params

  net/mlx5: Let user configure io_eq_size param
  devlink: Add new "event_eq_size" generic device param
  net/mlx5: Let user configure event_eq_size param
  devlink: Clarifies max_macs generic devlink param
  net/mlx5: Let user configure max_macs generic param
