Bug Description

The Current Yakkety driver does not have support for the new generation of Cavium LiquidIO adapter.

This bug is for backporting the driver. A firmware file also needs to be included in initramfs for the driver to initialize correctly.

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git

cd linux-firmware/liquidio

Use the lio_23xx_nic.bin file
