Add kernel config for NVIDIA DPU/ConnectX adapter

[l8huang]

With Nvidia DPU or ConnectX network adapter, VF can do VFIO passthrough to guest VM in guest-kernel mode. In the guest kernel, the adapter's driver is required to claim the VFIO device and create network interface.

FYI: in the guest VM:

@zvonkok PR updated, PTAL, thanks

[zvonkok]

@l8huang You need to bump tools/packaging/kernel/kata_config_version

@l8huang You need to bump tools/packaging/kernel/kata_config_version

Thanks for the heads up, version updated.

[l8huang]

@lifupan @fidencio @GabyCT need another LGTM, could you please take a look? thanks

-D : DPU/SmartNIC vendor, only NVIDIA. => -D : DPU/SmartNIC vendor, only Mellanox.

@amshinde Mellanox was acquired by NVIDIA, the products are named under NVIDIA now.

@amshinde Mellanox was acquired by NVIDIA, the products are named under NVIDIA now.

@l8huang I understand that, I suggested the rename to Mellanox to avoid confusion with Nvidia GPU, and since the kernel configs refer to Mellanox rather than Nvidia.

[l8huang]

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mellanox_Technologies:

The company was integrated into Nvidia's networking division in 2020 and Nvidia stopped using the brand name "Mellanox" for its new networking products.

If one googles Mellanox Technologies, the top results point to NVIDIA.

TBH: I don't see too much confusion, the option says the DPU/SmartNIC vendor. We should move beyond historical legacies, looking forward NVIDIA is the de facto vendor.

@zvonkok what do you think?

[l8huang]

@amshinde Would you mind merging this PR as it is? If any confusion arises later, I will address and amend it accordingly.

[amshinde]

@l8huang There is a merge conflict now, can you rebase this PR?

[l8huang]

@amshinde thanks for heads up, just rebased.

[l8huang]

@amshinde could you please take a look again?

@l8huang artifacts from your last push have expired (they are cached for 2 weeks IIRC). Please rebase.

@gkurz thanks for heads up, rebased.
