[PATCH v2 0/2] Get E-Switch Manager vport ID

[Shun Hao]

One of the E-Switch vports plays the special role - it is assigned as
"E-Switch manager" and has some special exclusive rights and duties - it
maintains all the representors, manages FDB domain flows, etc. By
default, the E-Switch vport index was supposed to be zero on standalone
NICs (regular ConnectX) and 0xFFFE SmartNIC (BlueField), but that was
not always correct - this index can be assigned with any value by
kernel/hypervisor.
To handle this and do not suggest any default values we should use DevX
API to query E-Switch manager vport ID directly from firmware, to make
sure we always use the correct value.
