Okay, here you go. As you can tell, it's almost a trivial copy of the
cxgb4 patch.
By the way, I realized that we have yet another hole which is likely not
to be fixable. If we're dealing with a problematic Root Complex, and we
instantiate Virtual Functions and attach them to a Virtual Machine along
with an NVMe device which can deal with Relaxed Ordering TLPs, the VF driver
in the VM will be able to tell that it shouldn't attempt to send RO TLPs to
the RC because it will see the state of its own PCIe Capability Device
Control[Relaxed Ordering Enable] (a copy of the setting in the VF's
corresponding PF), but it won't be able to change that and send non-RO TLPs
to the RC, and RO TLPs to the NVMe device. Oh well.
I sure wish that the Intel guys would pop up with a hidden register change
for these problematic Intel RCs that perform poorly with RO TLPs. Their
silence has been frustrating.

----------
cxgb4vf Ethernet driver now queries PCIe configuration space to determine if
it can send TLPs to it with the Relaxed Ordering Attribute set.
