On OcteonTX2/OctoenTX3 variants of silicon, Admin function (AF) handles resource allocation and configuration for PFs and their VFs. PFs request the AF directly, via mailboxes. Unlike PFs, VFs cannot send a mailbox request directly. A VF sends mailbox messages to its parent PF, with which it shares a mailbox region. The PF then forwards these messages to the AF. This patch adds code to configure inline-IPsec HW resources for CPT VFs as CPT VFs cannot send a mailbox request directly to AF.

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.
