Now if the PF link is down and up, VF doesn't handle this event,
user need to reset the VF port to let it recover.
This patch set addes the support of the mailbox interruption on
VF. So, VF can receice the messges for physical link down/up.
And VF will handle this event and let the VF link recover
automatically.

Wenzhuo Lu (4):
  ixgbe: VF supports mailbox interruption for PF link up/down
  igb: VF supports mailbox interruption for PF link up/down
  ixgbe: automatic link recovery on VF
  igb: automatic link recovery on VF
