This patch adds support for a PF/VF driver to configure NIX transmit scheduler queues via mbox. Since PF/VF doesn't know the absolute HW index of the NIXLF attached to it, AF traps the register config and overwrites with the correct NIXLF index. HW supports shaping, colouring and policing of packets with these multilevel traffic scheduler queues. Instead of introducing different mbox message formats for different configurations and making both AF & PF/VF driver implementation cumbersome, access to the scheduler queue's CSRs is provided via mbox. AF checks whether the sender PF/VF has the corresponding queue allocated or not and dumps the config to HW. With a single mbox msg 20 registers can be configured.

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.
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.
