Add support to describe device for parsing device options. As
the first device option, add raw addressing.
"Raw Addressing" mode (as opposed to the current "qpl" mode) is an
operational mode which allows the driver avoid bounce buffer copies
which it currently performs using pre-allocated qpls (queue_page_lists)
when sending and receiving packets.
For egress packets, the provided skb data addresses will be dma_map'ed and
passed to the device, allowing the NIC can perform DMA directly - the
driver will not have to copy the buffer content into pre-allocated
buffers/qpls (as in qpl mode).
For ingress packets, copies are also eliminated as buffers are handed to
the networking stack and then recycled or re-allocated as
necessary, avoiding the use of skb_copy_to_linear_data().
This patch only introduces the option to the driver.
Subsequent patches will add the ingress and egress functionality.

There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having a
dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code
should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The
older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be
used[2].
Refactor the code according to the use of a flexible-array member in
struct gve_stats_report, instead of a zero-length array, and use the
struct_size() helper to calculate the size for the resource allocation.

This change allows the driver to report the device link speed
when the ethtool command:
ethtool <nic name>
is run.
Getting the link speed is done via a new admin queue command:
ReportLinkSpeed.

This adds per queue NIC stats to ethtool stats and to report-stats.
These stats are always exposed to guest whether or not the
report-stats flag is turned on.

This adds functionality to report driver stats to Hypervisor.
(Users may want to turn this feature off as a matter of privacy
so a "report-stats" flag is added as an ethtool priv option.
It is also disabled by default.)
The hypervisor would trigger a stats report in case "too many"
packets dropped; the stats would be useful in debugging stuck
queues.
A "stats_report_trigger_cnt" stat is added to count the number of times
the hypervisor attempts to trigger stats report.
A timer is also added so that when report-stats is enabled, stat are
updated once every 20 seconds.

Add a driver framework for the Compute Engine Virtual NIC that will be
available in the future.
At this point the only functionality is loading the driver.
