Adding a support to flush all HW resources with one FW command and skip all the heavy unload flows of the driver on kernel shutdown. There's no need to free all the SW context since a new fresh kernel will be loaded afterwards. Regarding the FW resources, they should be closed, otherwise we will have leakage in the FW. To accelerate this flow, we execute one command in the beginning that tells the FW that the driver isn't going to close any of the FW resources and asks the FW to clean up everything. Once the commands complete, it's safe to close the PCI resources and finish the routine.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
