qed: Add VF->PF channel infrastructure
Communication between VF and PF is based on a dedicated HW channel;
VF will prepare a messge, and by signaling the HW the PF would get a
notification of that message existance. The PF would then copy the
message, process it and DMA an answer back to the VF as a response.
The messages themselves are TLV-based - allowing easier backward/forward
compatibility.
This patch adds the infrastructure of the channel on the PF side -
starting with the arrival of the notification and ending with DMAing
the response back to the VF.
It also adds a dummy-response as reference, as it only lays the
groundwork of the communication; it doesn't really add support of any
actual messages.
