The introduction of Emulated-ISM requires adaptation of SMC-D device
dump. Software implemented non-PCI device (loopback-ism) should be
handled correctly and the CHID reserved for Emulated-ISM should be got
from smcd_ops interface instead of PCI information.

Hi Wen Gu,

playing around with the loopback-ism device and testing it, i developed some concerns regarding this exposure. Basically this enables us to see the loopback device in the `smcd device` tool without any changes.
E.g.:
```
# smcd device
FID  Type  PCI-ID        PCHID  InUse  #LGs  PNET-ID
0000 0     loopback-ism  ffff   No        0
102a ISM   0000:00:00.0  07c2   No        0  NET1
```

Now the problem with this is that "loopback-ism" is no valid PCI-ID and should not be there. My first thought was to put an "n/a" instead, but that opens up another problem. Currently you could set - even if it does not make sense - a PNET_ID for the loopback device:
```
# smc_pnet -a -D loopback-ism NET1
# smcd device
FID  Type  PCI-ID        PCHID  InUse  #LGs  PNET-ID
0000 0     loopback-ism  ffff   No        0  *NET1
102a ISM   0000:00:00.0  07c2   No        0  NET1
```
If we would change the PCI-ID to "n/a" it would be a valid input parameter for the tooling which is... to put it nice... not so beautiful.
I brainstormed this with them team and the problem is more complex.
In theory there shouldn't be PCI information set for the loopback device. There should be a better abstraction in the netlink interface that creates this output and the tooling should be made aware of it.

Do you rely on the output currently? What are your thoughts about it?
If not I'd ask you to not fill the netlink interface for the loopback device and refactor it with the next stage when we create a right interface for it.

Since the Merge-Window is closed feel free to send new versions as RFC.
Thank you
