[SRU][Xenial][PATCH 0/2] Enable basic support for Solarflare 8000 series NIC

[Mauricio Faria de Oliveira]

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1783152

SRU Justification:

[Impact]

 * Users cannot use Solarflare 8000 series NICs.

 * Servers with only this NIC cannot do netboot.

 * The patchset adds the PCI IDs and a basic fix.

[Test Case]

 * Try to probe/netboot/use a Solarflare 8000
   series NIC.

 * It does not probe on the original kernel,
   but it does probe/netboot/install/stress
   (i.e., basic fuctionality works) on the
   patched kernel.

[Regression Potential]

 * Users with Solarflare 8000 series NIC might hit
   problems on device probe or due to a new network
   interface coming up, now that the NIC comes up.

 * More specific features of the NIC or advanced
   tuning/setup might not work as expected or run
   into issues.

[Other Info]

 * There are known error messages on device probe.

 * These are benign/non-fatal and will be addressed
   on another SRU cycle.
