This commit re-enables ice, i40e, iavf, igb-uio, opae-fpga-driver and
iqvlinux OOT drivers.
In order to deal with a firmware incompatibility or if a problem is
found with the in-tree driver, we will continue to support one
version of each out-of-tree driver. The out-of-tree driver versions
that we plan to keep in StarlingX have been validated in the past.
We will be preserving i40e-2.20.12, iavf-4.5.3.2, and ice-1.9.11
as out-of-tree drivers. For the X700 series of NICs, i40e-2.20.12
is compatible with NVM (non-volatile memory, or firmware) version
9.20, and for the E810 series NICs, ice-1.9.11 is compatible with
NVM version 4.22.
The drivers igb-uio, opae-fpga-driver and iqvlinux are known to only
exist as OOT.
We encountered a few the version compatibility issues after upgrading
the kernel to 6.6.7 version. We adapted drivers' code to the kernel
6.6.7 by referring to the upstream commits.
We also change the driver location folder to "weak-updates" from
"updates" for ice, iavf and i40e so that the default drivers will be
the in-tree drivers.

i40e: 2.20.12

Cherry pick upstream commit to fix the build error.
* commit 29b1c1e4 ("linux/igb_uio: fix build with kernel 5.18+")
http://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-kmods/commit/?id=29b1c1e4
intel-opae-fpga:

* commit 79687789 ("PCI: Remove the deprecated "pci-dma-compat.h" API")
https://git.yoctoproject.org/linux-yocto/commit/?h=79687789
Verification:
* ice, i40e, iavf:
- installs from iso succeed on servers with ice(ntel E810-2C-QDA2
Chapman beach) and i40e hw(Intel Ethernet Controller X710) for
rt and std.
- interfaces are up and pass packets for rt and std.
- create vfs, ensure that they are picked up by the new iavf
driver and that the interface can come up and pass packets
on rt and std system.
- Check dmesg to see DDP package is loaded successfully and
the version is 1.3.30.0 for rt and std.
* Switch drivers between the OOT and in-tree drivers.
- switch to the OOT drivers
1. Add cmdline parameter multi-drivers-switch=cvl-4.0.1
2. reboot
can switch to the OOT drivers.
- switch to the in-tree drivers
1. Remove cmdline parameter multi-drivers-switch=cvl-4.0.1
2. reboot
can switch to the in-tree drivers.
* igb_uio, intel-opae-fpga, iqvlinux
Did not do the tests, it looks need docker image to do the test.
So need the test team help to do the full tests.
