This patch cleans up and addresses several issues in the way that i40e handles private flags. Previously the code was choosing fixed bits and trying to match them up with strings in a somewhat haphazard way. This resulted in the possibility for adding a new bit and causing a mismatch as the private flags are linear bits starting at 0, and the private flags in the driver were split up over a group specific to the PF and a group that was global. What this change does is define an array of structs used to represent the private flags. Contained within the structs are the bits necessary to know which flags to set and/or clear depending on the state of the bit. By doing this we can add new bits in the future with minimal overhead and avoid creating possible mis-matches should we need to remove a flag based on compile options.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
