Meta Platforms NIC is the second-generation NIC from Meta. There are
quite a few high-level similarities to fbnic, but all of the CSRs and
descriptors have been reshuffled, and new features have been added.
Since the device is sufficiently different from fbnic, and the design of
our FW is minimal, we have decided a separate driver is appropriate.

Major new features compared to fbnic will take a while to land. This
series includes only the bare-bones Tx/Rx datapath.

Our high-level patch sequence and plan for the upcoming series is:
 1. Core datapath (this series)
 2. Basic offloads, RSS, and counters
 3. Firmware mailbox support
 4. Base ethtool operations

This patch series was prepared in part with these LLM prompts:
https://github.com/kuba-moo/ai-prompts/blob/main/driver-upstreaming-prompts.md

The prompts were used to distill our fully-featured OOT driver into this
minimal Tx/Rx capable upstream driver. We then performed human review on
the output to create this posting. Jakub has made the prompts public in
case people would like to take a look.

Changes in v2:
- eth: mpnic: add register init for the device
  - derive the TQS TXB credit limits from the TXB private credit config
  - program the BMC to MAC XOFF threshold (TXB_THRESHOLDS_P0[16])
    instead of the host to BMC one, and drop the now unused
    MPNIC_TXB_BMC_THRESH
  - drop L2_HLEN from the default TWD, it only matters for csum/LSO
- eth: mpnic: implement Tx queue allocation and cleanup
  - add mpnic_nv_irq_trigger()
- eth: mpnic: add a netdevice and basic Tx handling
  - trim the real Tx queue count before register_netdev()
- eth: mpnic: implement Rx queue allocation and cleanup
  - drop an inaccurate comment on mpnic_bdq_desc_unused()
  - drop the unused data_truesize field from struct mpnic_pkt_ctxt
  - trim the real Rx queue count before register_netdev() too
- eth: mpnic: add basic Rx handling
  - skip Rx cleaning and BDQ refill when polled with a budget of 0
    (netpoll), page pool must not be used in that context
  - keep struct mpnic_pkt_ctxt instead of replacing it with a bare
    xdp_buff, and move add_frag_failed into it
  - give each Rx queue only the NAPI budget left over by the previous
    ones instead of the full budget
  - sync Rx buffers for the CPU with page_pool_dma_sync_for_cpu() instead
    of dma_sync_single_range_for_cpu()
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260922-linux-mpnic-v1-0-236844f53072@gmail.com
