Concurrent non-blocking slowpath ramrods can be completed
out-of-order on the completion chain. Recycling completed elements,
while previously sent elements are still completion pending,
can lead to overriding of active elements on the chain. Furthermore,
sending pending slowpath ramrods currently lacks the update of the
chain element physical pointer.
This patch:
* Ensures that ramrods are sent to the FW with
consecutive echo values.
* Handles out-of-order completions by freeing only first
successive completed entries.
* Updates the chain element physical pointer when copying
a pending element into a free element for sending.

The Qlogic Everest Driver is the backend module for the QL4xxx ethernet
products by Qlogic.
This module serves two main purposes:
1. It's responsible to contain all the common code that will be shared
between the various drivers that would be used with said line of
products. Flows such as chip initialization and de-initialization
fall under this category.
2. It would abstract the protocol-specific HW & FW components, allowing
the protocol drivers to have a clean APIs which is detached in its
slowpath configuration from the actual HSI.
This adds a very basic module without any protocol-specific bits.
I.e., this adds a basic implementation that almost entirely falls under
the first category.
