    dcbnl: Aggregated CEE GET operation · 37cf4d1a

    The following couple of patches add dcbnl an unsolicited notification of
    the the DCB configuration for the CEE flavor of the DCBX protocol. This
    is useful when the user-mode DCB client is not responsible for
    conducting and resolving the DCBX negotiation (either because the DCBX
    stack is embedded in the HW or the negotiation is handled by another
    agent in the host), but still needs to get the negotiated parameters.
    This functionality already exists for the IEEE flavor of the DCBX
    protocol and these patches add it to the older CEE flavor.
    
    The first patch extends the CEE attribute GET operation to include not
    only the peer information, but also all the pertinent local
    configuration (negotiated parameters). The second patch adds and export
    a CEE specific notification routine.
