Technical issue:
Mellanox CX5 port multi-pathing is broken on s390x due to non-standard topology 
of PCI IDs (phys. and virtual)

Details
The Mellanox ConnectX5 Linux PCI driver (mlx5) implements a multi-path feature 
that can be used to combine multiple networking ports to improve performance 
and reliability. For that purpose, the mlx5 driver combines PCI functions based 
on topology information (the function number) as determined from their PCI ID.

Currently the Linux on Z PCI bus does not reflect PCI topology
information in the PCI ID. As a result, the mlx5 multi-path function
cannot be activated.
