ldmvsw: Add ldmvsw.c driver code
Add ldmvsw.c driver
Details:
The ldmvsw driver very closely follows the sunvnet.c code and makes
use of the sunvnet_common.c code for core functionality.
A significant difference between sunvnet and ldmvsw driver is
sunvnet creates a network interface for each vnet-port *parent*
node in the MD while the ldmvsw driver creates a network interface
for every vsw-port node in the Machine Description (MD).
Therefore the netdev_priv() for sunvnet is a vnet structure while
the netdev_priv() for ldmvsw is a vnet_port structure.
Vnet_port structures allocated by ldmvsw have the vsw bit set.
When finding the net_device associated with a port, the common code keys
off this bit to use either the net_device found in the vnet_port or the
net_device in the vnet structure (see the VNET_PORT_TO_NET_DEVICE() macro in
sunvnet_common.h). This scheme allows the common code to work with
both drivers with minimal changes.
Similar to Xen, network interfaces created by the ldmvsw driver will always
have a HW Addr (i.e. mac address) of FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF and each will be
assigned the devname "vif<cfg_handle>.<port_id>" - where <cfg_handle> and
<port_id> are a unique handle/port pair assigned to the associated
vsw-port node in the MD.
