On CN10K platform transmit/receive buffer alloc and free from/to hardware had changed to support burst operation. Whereas pervious silicon's only support single buffer free at a time. To Support the same firmware allocates a DRAM region for each PF/VF for storing LMTLINES. These LMTLINES are used for NPA batch free and for flushing SQE to the hardware. PF/VF LMTST region is accessed via BAR4. PFs LMTST region is followed by its VFs mbox memory. The size of region varies from 2KB to 256KB based on number of LMTLINES configured. This patch adds support for - Mapping PF/VF LMTST region. - Reserves 0-71 (RX + TX + XDP) LMTST lines for NPA batch free operation. - Reserves 72-512 LMTST lines for NIX SQE flush.

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.
