Jakub Kicinski 6d4b0d8ed6 nfp: slice the netdev spawning function
We want to be able to create a special vNIC for control messages.
This vNIC should be created before any netdev is registered to allow
nfp_app logic to exchange messages with the FW app before any netdev
is visible to user space.  Unfortunately we can't enable IRQs until
we know how many vNICs we will need to spawn.

Divide the function which spawns netdevs for vNICs into three parts:
 - vNIC/memory allocation;
 - IRQ allocation;
 - netdev init and register.

This will help us insert the initialization of the control channel
after IRQ allocation but before netdev init and register.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
