This patch-set add the support for floating VEB in i40e.
All the VFs VSIs can decide whether to connect to the legacy VEB/VEPA or
 the floating VEB. When connect to the floating VEB a new floating VEB is
 created. Now all the VFs need to connect to floating VEB or legacy VEB,
 cannot connect to both of them. The PF and VMDQ,FD VSIs connect to
 the old legacy VEB/VEPA.

All the VEB/VEPA concepts are not specific for FVL, they are defined in the
802.1Qbg spec.
