Intel suggests to upgrade the intel-qv driver to the version
1.2.0.21 from 1.2.0.19 after we upgrade the kernel to 6.6.x.
Verification:
* The intel-qv driver can build success.
* Did not do the tests, it looks need docker image to do the test.
So need the test team help to do the full tests.

This commit re-enables ice, i40e, iavf, igb-uio, opae-fpga-driver and
iqvlinux OOT drivers.
In order to deal with a firmware incompatibility or if a problem is
found with the in-tree driver, we will continue to support one
version of each out-of-tree driver. The out-of-tree driver versions
that we plan to keep in StarlingX have been validated in the past.
We will be preserving i40e-2.20.12, iavf-4.5.3.2, and ice-1.9.11
as out-of-tree drivers. For the X700 series of NICs, i40e-2.20.12
is compatible with NVM (non-volatile memory, or firmware) version
9.20, and for the E810 series NICs, ice-1.9.11 is compatible with
NVM version 4.22.
The drivers igb-uio, opae-fpga-driver and iqvlinux are known to only
exist as OOT.
We encountered a few the version compatibility issues after upgrading
the kernel to 6.6.7 version. We adapted drivers' code to the kernel
6.6.7 by referring to the upstream commits.
We also change the driver location folder to "weak-updates" from
"updates" for ice, iavf and i40e so that the default drivers will be
the in-tree drivers.
ice: 1.9.11
i40e: 2.20.12
iavf: 4.5.3.2

- installs from iso succeed on servers with ice(ntel E810-2C-QDA2
Chapman beach) and i40e hw(Intel Ethernet Controller X710) for
rt and std.
- interfaces are up and pass packets for rt and std.
- create vfs, ensure that they are picked up by the new iavf
driver and that the interface can come up and pass packets
on rt and std system.
- Check dmesg to see DDP package is loaded successfully and
the version is 1.3.30.0 for rt and std.
* Switch drivers between the OOT and in-tree drivers.
- switch to the OOT drivers
1. Add cmdline parameter multi-drivers-switch=cvl-4.0.1
2. reboot
can switch to the OOT drivers.
- switch to the in-tree drivers
1. Remove cmdline parameter multi-drivers-switch=cvl-4.0.1
2. reboot
can switch to the in-tree drivers.
* igb_uio, intel-opae-fpga, iqvlinux

Remove the kernel abiname/version from Build-Depends in OOT kernel
modules. After commit <Add pkgs without abiname for image/headers>
the new dependency is as this:
linux-kbuild-5.10 is depended by linux-headers-5.10.0-6-amd64;
linux-headers-5.10.0-6-amd64 is depended by linux-headers-stx-amd64.
Package linux-keys-5.10 is renamed to linux-keys.
Then the version numbers and abiname can be completely removed from
the Build-Depends of OOT kernel modules' codes.
Similar is done for RT kernel modules.
This is a preparation for kernel upgrading with major version.
Test plan:
PASS: Build all the packages and iso successfully.
PASS: The rt/std installations are fine for both qemu and lib.
PASS: No warning appears for insmod/modprobe.

mirror.starlingx.cengn.ca no longer exists. CENGN is kindly forwarding
requests to the new location mirror.starlingx.windriver.com for now, but
that will only last a few months. We need to replace all the references
with the new URL.
I will also remove as many 'cengn' references as possible, replacing
them with 'stx_mirror'

The Intel Quartzville (QV) tools is a bundle of network utilities that
support validation, debug, and IEEE Conformance testing of Intel
network adapters; identification and diagnostics of Intel PCI adapters,
collection of properties and assigned resources, for automation; and
an EEPROM programming utility.
The Quartzville tools are proprietary, but the Intel QV Linux (iqvlinux)
driver is licensed as open source (GPL2), and can be freely distributed
as a kernel module.
This commit adds support of Intel Quartzville (QV) tools in StarlingX
kernel, as a facility to users that own a valid Intel QV license, so
they may install QV tools in StarlingX, without changes in the kernel.
The new kernel module is signed, as usual in StarlingX. For this, a
change is necessary in the original source code, to not disable module
signing. This change is done by patch.
Due to iqvlinux 1.2.0.19 is not yet available in sourceforge.net, the
source code tarball shall be hosted in StarlingX CENGN mirror.
Note that the new kernel modules are installed to a directory where
usually only in-tree kernel modules exist. This is done to satisfy the
user-space utilities' assumptions regarding the location of the kernel
module. We have also learned that the user-space utilities' assumption
regarding the kernel module's location may change in the future.
Test Plan:
- Container image is built successfully on Debian (PASS)
- iqvlinux driver package is successfully installed (PASS)
- Run time testing of the QV tools (PASS)
