    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.
