This series enables DPDK to use the sfc driver on a Medford4 VF alongside the PF.
The first patch wires EVB switch operations into the Medford4 libefx implementation, allowing the PF to manage VFs. Starting with MCFW 1.4.0.8, VFs may use the netport MCDI for basic port configuration, though several operations remain restricted. The remaining four patches address each restriction: dummy fixed port properties, suppressed event subscription, denied FCS and flow control, and ENOTSUP for periodic MAC stats DMA. This series depends on the VADAPTER statistics series.
