[very-RFC 2/8] TSN: Add the standard formerly known as AVB to the kernel

[Henrik Austad]

TSN provides a mechanism to create reliable, jitter-free, low latency
guaranteed bandwidth links over a local network. It does this by
reserving a path through the network. Support for TSN must be found in
both the NIC as well as in the network itself.

This adds required hooks into netdev_ops so that the core TSN driver can
use this when configuring a new NIC or setting up a new link.

+	  Select this if you want to enable TSN on capable interfaces.
+
+	  TSN allows you to set up deterministic links on your LAN (only
+	  L2 is currently supported). Once loaded, the driver will probe
+	  all available interfaces if they are capable of supporting TSN
+	  links.
+
+	  Once loaded, a directory in configfs called tsn/ will expose
+	  the capable NICs and allow userspace to create
+	  links. Userspace must provide us with a StreamID as well as
+	  reserving bandwidth through the network and once this is done,
+	  a new link can be created by issuing a mkdir() in configfs and
+	  updating the attributes for the new link.
+
+	  TSN itself does not produce nor consume data, it is dependent
+	  upon 'shims' doing this, which can be virtually anything. ALSA
+	  is a good candidate.
+
+	  For more information, refer to the TSN-documentation in the
+	  kernel documentation repository.
+
+	  The resulting module will be called 'tsn'
+
+	  If unsure, say N.
