This new device driver enables high performance virtual networking which
combines the isolation, QoS, and shared resources benefits of SR-IOV
with the Live LPAR Mobility capabilities of a virtual adapter. The SR-
IOV VF will be attached to the VIOS partition and mapped directly to the
Linux client for exclusive use; this is the device driver for this new
virtual adapter.

This is the kernel part for this feature request.

The ibmvnic driver has recently been included in David Miller's net-next
tree.  It should be included in Linux 4.5.

git commit : http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-
next.git/commit/?id=032c5e82847a2214c3196a90f0aeba0ce252de58

This is a feature request to include this new driver in Ubuntu 16.04.
