Title:
  Backport more recent Broadcom bnxt_en driver

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in linux source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  The current Xenial bnxt_en driver only supports a limited (old) set of
  Broadcom NICs. We want to support newer NICs in Xenial without adding
  risk for existing users.

  The plan is to provide a separate driver called bnxt_en_bpo which is a
  backported driver from Broadcom. This driver will be modified to only
  support the new NICs that the current kernel driver does not support
  so that they both can co-exist.

  In other words, NICs that used to be supported by Xenial will still be
  managed by the current (unmodified) bnxt_en driver. Newer NICs will be
  managed by the new bnxt_en_bpo driver.

  [Test Case]

  Due to the unavailability of Broadcom HW, the only test that was run
  was to manually load both the bnxt_en and bnxt_en_bpo module to ensure
  that they can co-exist.

  [Regression Potential]

  There should be no regression potential, since the current driver is
  not modified and the new driver only loads for NICs that are not
  handled by the current driver.
