Summary

Enable the Physical Function to handle and forward HWRM commands issued
by Virtual Functions through the firmware forwarded-request mechanism.
When the firmware delivers a forwarded request completion to the PF,
the async handler identifies the originating VF, schedules deferred
processing, and the service task validates and forwards or rejects the
encapsulated command based on the request type and VF trust state.
MAC change requests are subject to PF policy enforcement before being
sent to firmware.
