Add support for hot reload. First, all the driver/core resources are released but the PCI and devlink instances, then reset is performed through the PCI interface. Finally the driver performs initialization. In case of reload failure the driver is left in a partially initialized state. Special care is taken during the driver removal in order to properly handle this state.

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.
