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

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.
