In certain cases initialization logic which follows allocation of the vNIC structure may want to validate the capabilities of that vNIC. This is easy before vNIC is initialized for normal capabilities which are at fixed offsets in control memory, easy to locate and read, but poses a challenge if the capabilities are in form of TLVs. Parse the TLVs early on so other code can just access parsed info, instead of having to do the parsing by itself.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
