Public bug reported:

SRU Justification

[Impact]

Microsoft has requested the addition of MANA EQ-sharing patch set which
is essentially everything up through v5.15-rc6.

3 more patches from Haiyang regarding EQ-sharing for Microsoft Azure
Network Adapter (MANA). This saves MSI-X interrupts and allows the host
to offer more virtual ports (network interfaces) to the VM. With the
patches, the MANA driver supports up to 256 virtual ports per VF (it was
16/VF), and support up to 64 queues per vPort (it was 16).

[Test Case]

Microsoft to test and verify.

[Where things might go wrong]

More virtual ports may cause issues in older kernels.
