Implements the below requirement mentioned
in the representors documentation.
"
The representee's link state is controlled through the
representor. Setting the representor administratively UP
or DOWN should cause carrier ON or OFF at the representee.
"
This patch enables
- Reflecting the link state of representor based on the VF state and
link state of VF based on representor.
- On VF interface up/down a notification is sent via mbox to representor
to update the link state.
eg: ip link set eth0 up/down will disable carrier on/off
of the corresponding representor(r0p1) interface.
- On representor interface up/down will cause the link state update of VF.
eg: ip link set r0p1 up/down will disable carrier on/off
of the corresponding representee(eth0) interface.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
