This patch utilizes the attention infrastructure to log additional
information that relates only to specific HW blocks.
For some of those HW blocks, it also stops automatically disabling the
attention generation as the attention is considered benign and thus
should only be logged; No fear of it flooding the system.

HW is capable of generating attentnions for a multitude of reasons,
but current driver is enabling attention generation only for management
firmware [required for link notifications].
This patch enables almost all of the possible reasons for HW attentions,
logging the HW block generating the attention and preventing further
attentions from that source [to prevent possible attention flood].
It also lays the infrastructure for additional exploration of the various
attentions.

Can't rely on pci config space to discover bar size,
as in some environments this returns a wrong, too large value.
Instead, rely on device register, which contains the value
provided by MFW at preboot.

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.
