Current implementation calculates the number and the partitioaning of
available interrupts vectors and then allocates all the interrupt
vectors.
Here, whenever dynamic msix allocation is supported, we change this to
use msix vectors dynamically so a vectors is actually allocated only
when needed. The current pool logic is kept in place to take care of
partitioning the vectors between the consumers and take care of
reference counting. However, the vectors are allocated only when needed.
Subsequent patches will make use of this to allocate vectors for VDPA.

irq_set_affinity_hint() applying the provided cpumask as an affinity for

SFs (Sub Functions) currently use IRQs from the global IRQ table their
parent Physical Function have. In order to better scale, we need to
allocate more IRQs and share them between different SFs.
Driver will maintain 3 separated irq pools:
1. A pool that serve the PF consumer (PF's netdev, rdma stacks), similar
to what the driver had before this patch. i.e, this pool will share irqs
between rdma and netev, and will keep the irq indexes and allocation
order. The last is important for PF netdev rmap (aRFS).
2. A pool of control IRQs for SFs. The size of this pool is the number
of SFs that can be created divided by SFS_PER_IRQ. This pool will serve
the control path EQs of the SFs.
3. A pool of completion data path IRQs for SFs transport queues. The
size of this pool is:
num_irqs_allocated - pf_pool_size - sf_ctrl_pool_size.
This pool will served netdev and rdma stacks. Moreover, rmap is not
supported on SFs.
Sharing methodology of the SFs pools is explained in the next patch.
Important note: rmap is not supported on SFs because rmap mapping cannot
function correctly for IRQs that are shared for different core/netdev RX

The number of MSI-X vectors is a PCI property visible through lspci. The
field is read-only and configured by the device. The mlx5 devices work in
a static or dynamic assignment mode.
Static assignment means that all newly created VFs have a preset number of
MSI-X vectors determined by device configuration parameters. This can
result in some VFs having too many or too few MSI-X vectors. Till now this
has been the only means of fine-tuning the MSI-X vector count and it was
acceptable for small numbers of VFs.
With dynamic assignment the inefficiency of having a fixed number of MSI-X
vectors can be avoided with each VF having exactly the required
vectors. Userspace will provide this information while provisioning the VF
for use, based on the intended use. For instance if being used with a VM,
the MSI-X vector count might be matched to the CPU count of the VM.
For compatibility mlx5 continues to start up with MSI-X vector assignment,
but the kernel can now access a larger dynamic vector pool and assign more
vectors to created VFs.
