The Qlogic Everest Driver for Ethernet is the Ethernet specific module for
QL4xxx ethernet products by Qlogic.
This patch adds a very minimal PCI driver, one that doesn't yet register
a network device, but one that does interact with qed and does a basic
initialization of the HW.

The Qlogic Everest Driver is the backend module for the QL4xxx ethernet
products by Qlogic.
This module serves two main purposes:
1. It's responsible to contain all the common code that will be shared
between the various drivers that would be used with said line of
products. Flows such as chip initialization and de-initialization
fall under this category.
2. It would abstract the protocol-specific HW & FW components, allowing
the protocol drivers to have a clean APIs which is detached in its
slowpath configuration from the actual HSI.
This adds a very basic module without any protocol-specific bits.
I.e., this adds a basic implementation that almost entirely falls under
the first category.

Moves the QLogic drivers into drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/ and
the necessary Kconfig and Makefile changes.
