Subject: [PATCH net-next 00/10][pull request] refactor IDPF resource access

Pavan Kumar Linga says:

Queue and vector resources for a given vport, are stored in the
idpf_vport structure. At the time of configuration, these
resources are accessed using vport pointer. Meaning, all the
config path functions are tied to the default queue and vector
resources of the vport.

There are use cases which can make use of config path functions
to configure queue and vector resources that are not tied to any
vport. One such use case is PTP secondary mailbox creation
(it would be in a followup series). To configure queue and interrupt
resources for such cases, we can make use of the existing config
infrastructure by passing the necessary queue and vector resources info.

To achieve this, group the existing queue and vector resources into
default resource group and refactor the code to pass the resource
pointer to the config path functions.

This series also includes patches which generalizes the send virtchnl
message APIs and mailbox API that are necessary for the implementation
of PTP secondary mailbox.

The following are changes since commit d4596891e72cbf155d61798a81ce9d36b69bfaf4:
  net: inline napi_skb_cache_get()
and are available in the git repository at:
