Currently the eswitch vport reps have a valid indicator, which is
set on register and unset on unregister. However, a rep can be loaded
or not loaded when doing unregister, current driver checks if the
vport of that rep is enabled as a flag to imply the rep is loaded.
However, for ECPF, this is not valid as the host PF will enable the
vports for its VFs instead.
Add three states: {unregistered, registered, loaded}, with the
following state changes across different operations:
create: (none) -> unregistered
reg: unregistered -> registered
load: registered -> loaded
unload: loaded -> registered
unreg: registered -> unregistered
Note that the state shall only be updated inside eswitch driver rather
than individual drivers such as ETH or IB.

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.
