net/mlx5: Accel, Add IPSec acceleration interface
Add routines for manipulating the hardware IPSec SA database (SADB).
In Innova IPSec, a Security Association (SA) is added or deleted
via a command message over the SBU connection.
The HW then sends a response message over the same connection.
Add implementation for Innova IPSec (FPGA-based) hardware.
These routines will be used by the IPSec offload support in a later patch
However they may also be used by others such as RDMA and RoCE IPSec.
mlx5/accel is a middle acceleration layer to allow mlx5e and other ULPs
to work directly with mlx5_core rather than Innova FPGA or other mlx5
acceleration providers.
In this patchset we add Innova IPSec support and mlx5/accel delegates
IPSec offloads to Innova routines.
In the future, when IPSec/TLS or any other acceleration gets integrated
into ConnectX chip, mlx5/accel layer will provide the integrated
acceleration, rather than the Innova one.
