Greetings:

Welcome to v2. This includes only cosmetic changes, see changelog below
and in each patch.

This series uses the netdev-genl API to link IRQs and queues to NAPI IDs
so that this information is queryable by user apps. This is particularly
useful for epoll-based busy polling apps which rely on having access to
the NAPI ID.

I've tested these commits on an EC2 instance with an ENA NIC configured
and have included test output in the commit messages for each patch
showing how to query the information.

I noted in the implementation that the driver requests an IRQ for
management purposes which does not have an associated NAPI. I tried to
take this into account in patch 1, but would appreciate if ENA
maintainers can verify I did this correctly.

Thanks,
Joe

v2:
- Preserve reverse christmas tree ordering in patch 1
- Add comment that the API is for non-XDP queues only to patch 2

v1:
