> This is a *CRITICAL MUST FIX* patch for 100Gb adapters supported by qed/qede on DPDK 17.05. There will be functional and performance issues/regression without this fix on 100Gb adapters. 
> 
> Without this change, RSS in 100Gb adapters do not function properly and leads to performance issues.  Rx Queue stop command on 100Gb adapter will results in FW exception, where the Rx queue stop request gets stuck in FW and leads to PMD/application error saying failed to stop RXQ 0.

> The issue was introduced by one of the 17.05 base driver patches (net/qede/base: use L2-handles for RSS configuration), which has changed the logic to use queue handles instead of queue ids. However, we missed to make the corresponding changes in 17.05 QEDE for the 100Gb adapter. This patch addresses that by making changes in QEDE to work with queue handles and associate the queues to respective HW functions based on queue handles.

Applied, thanks

This patch is big.
So I will wait for compilation tests of the night before releasing.
