i40e/i40evf: restrict VC opcodes to their initial values
Until the time a more robust versioning scheme is needed/implemented all established virtual channel opcode values should remain consistent between updates to the opcode enum. This patch repositions I40E_VIRTCHNL_OP_CONFIG_RSS to the end of the enum. In its current position this opcode displaces the initial value of I40E_VIRTCHNL_OP_EVENT and will cause PF/VF compatibility issues. Going forward the expectation is either: a) All future opcode additions will be added as the last element of the enum. Once VF drivers start making use of the new commands the virtual channel version will need to be incremented and drivers will need to implement a simple version check whereby VF drivers can only load on PFs with a >= version. b) or, if needed, design and implement a more complicated API negotiation capability. In either case PF drivers should always maintain backwards compatibility with earlier VF driver versions.
