devlink health could be used to get coredump. No need to send so much
data to the kernel ring buffer.

With force_coredump module parameter set, devlink health dump will
reset the MPI RISC first which takes 5 secs to be finished.
Note that only NIC function that owns the firmware can do the
force_dumping. Otherwise devlink will receive an EPERM error.

- Device status and general registers can be obtained by ethtool.
- Coredump can be done via devlink health reporter.

Stop calling ql_release_all in qlge_init_device and free things one step
at a time.
struct qlge_adapter *qdev is now a private structure of struct devlink
and memset is not necessary.

Initialize devlink health dump framework for the qlge driver so the
coredump could be done via devlink.
struct qlge_adapter is now used as the private data structure of
struct devlink so it could exist independently of struct net_device
and devlink reload could be supported in the future. The priv
This patch set aims to avoid dumping registers, data structures and
coredump to dmesg and also to reduce the code size of the qlge driver.
As pointed out by Benjamin [1],
