When a port's link is down (except to driver restart) and the port is
configured for auto sensing, we try to sense port link type (Ethernet
or InfiniBand) in order to determine how to initialize the port. If
the port type needs to be changed, all mlx4 for the device interfaces
are unregistered and then registered again with the new port
types. Sensing is done with intervals of 3 seconds.

The Mellanox ConnectX can operate as an InfiniBand adapter, as an
Ethernet NIC, or as a Fibre Channel (FC) HBA. The kernel has a
low-level driver, mlx4_core, which handles multiplexing access to the
device, and there is also already an InfiniBad driver, mlx4_ib.
This patch adds a new driver, mlx4_en, which implements a standard
Ethernet NIC driver.

Add an InfiniBand driver for Mellanox ConnectX adapters. Because
these adapters can also be used as ethernet NICs and Fibre Channel
HBAs, the driver is split into two modules:
mlx4_core: Handles low-level things like device initialization and
processing firmware commands. Also controls resource allocation
so that the InfiniBand, ethernet and FC functions can share a
device without stepping on each other.
mlx4_ib: Handles InfiniBand-specific things; plugs into the
InfiniBand midlayer.
