Sucheta Chakraborty f89a2a05ff Add support to configure SR-IOV VF minimum and maximum Tx rate through ip tool
o "min_tx_rate" option has been added for minimum Tx rate. Hence, for
  consistent naming, "max_tx_rate" option has been introduced for maximum
  Tx rate.

o Change in v2: "rate" can be used along with "max_tx_rate".
  When both are specified, "max_tx_rate" should override.

o Change in v3:
  * IFLA_VF_RATE: When IFLA_VF_RATE is used, and user has given only one of
    min_tx_rate or max_tx_rate, reading of previous rate limits is done in
    userspace instead of in kernel space before ndo_set_vf_rate.

  * IFLA_VF_TX_RATE: When IFLA_VF_TX_RATE is used, min_tx_rate is always read
    in kernel space. This takes care of below scenarios:
    (1) when old tool sends "rate" but kernel is new (expects min and max)
    (2) when new tool sends only "rate" but kernel is old (expects only "rate")

o Change in v4 as suggested by Stephen Hemminger:
  * As per iproute policy, input and output formats should match. Changing display
    of max_tx_rate and min_tx_rate options accordingly.

How to compile this.
--------------------
1. libdbm

arpd needs to have the db4 development libraries. For Debian
users this is the package with a name like libdb4.x-dev.
DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which
is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley
database routines.  Often this is in the db-devel package.

2. make

The makefile will automatically build a Config file which
contains whether or not ATM is available, etc.

3. To make documentation, cd to doc/ directory , then
   look at start of Makefile and set correct values for
   PAGESIZE=a4		, ie: a4 , letter ...	(string)
   PAGESPERPAGE=2	, ie: 1 , 2 ...		(numeric)
   and make there. It assumes, that latex, dvips and psnup
   are in your path.

4. This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because
   the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile
   if you have special requirements and need to point at different
   kernel include files.
