MFC r291072, r291168 and r291169:
Add the mlx5 and mlx5en modules to the i386 and amd64 kernel builds by default and add a manual page for mlx5en. The mlx5 module contains shared code for both infiniband and ethernet. The mlx5en module contains specific code for ethernet functionality only. A mlx5ib module is in the works for infiniband support. Supported hardware: - ConnectX-4: 10/20/25/40/50/56/100Gb/s speeds. - ConnectX-4 LX: 10/25/40/50Gb/s speeds (low power consumption) Refer to the mlx5en(4) manual page for a comprehensive list. The team porting the mlx5 driver(s) to FreeBSD: - Hans Petter Selasky <hselasky@freebsd.org> - Oded Shanoon <odeds@mellanox.com> - Meny Yossefi <menyy@mellanox.com> - Shany Michaely <shanim@mellanox.com> - Shahar Klein <shahark@mellanox.com> - Daria Genzel <dariaz@mellanox.com> - Mark Bloch <markb@mellanox.com> Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D4163 Sponsored by: Mellanox Technologies
