Added 'sriov_configure' to enable/disable virtual functions (VFs). Also added handling of mailbox messages from these VFs. Admin function (AF) is the only one with all priviliges to configure HW, alloc resources etc etc, PFs and it's VFs have to request AF via mbox for all their needs. But unlike PFs, their VFs cannot send a mbox request directly. A VF shares a mailbox region with it's parent PF, so VF sends a mailbox msg to PF and then PF forwards it to AF. Then AF after processing sends response to PF which it again forwards to VF. This patch adds support for this 'VF <=> PF <=> AF' mailbox communication.

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.
