Implement "mdd-auto-reset-vf" priv-flag to handle Tx and Rx MDD events for VFs.
This flag is also used in other network adapters like ICE.
Usage:
- "on" - The problematic VF will be automatically reset
if a malformed descriptor is detected.
- "off" - The problematic VF will be disabled.
In cases where a VF sends malformed packets classified as malicious, it can
cause the Tx queue to freeze, rendering it unusable for several minutes. When
an MDD event occurs, this new implementation allows for a graceful VF reset to
quickly restore operational state.
Currently, VF queues are disabled if an MDD event occurs. This patch adds the
ability to reset the VF if a Tx or Rx MDD event occurs. It also includes MDD
event logging throttling to avoid dmesg pollution and unifies the format of
Tx and Rx MDD messages.
Note: Standard message rate limiting functions like dev_info_ratelimited()
do not meet our requirements. Custom rate limiting is implemented,
please see the code for details.

The out-of-tree driver is hosted on SourceForge, as this does not apply
to the kernel driver remove references to it. Also do some minor
formatting changes around this section.

Organize driver documentation by device type. Most documents
have fairly verbose yet uninformative names, so let users
first select a well defined device type, and then search for
a particular driver.
While at it rename the section from Vendor drivers to
Hardware drivers. This seems more accurate, besides people
sometimes refer to out-of-tree drivers as vendor drivers.
