==========
Introduce auxiliary bus IRQs sysfs

Today, PCI PFs and VFs, which are anchored on the PCI bus, display their
IRQ information in the <pci_device>/msi_irqs/<irq_num> sysfs files.  PCI
subfunctions (SFs) are similar to PFs and VFs and these SFs are anchored
on the auxiliary bus. However, these PCI SFs lack such IRQ information
on the auxiliary bus, leaving users without visibility into which IRQs
are used by the SFs. This absence makes it impossible to debug
situations and to understand the source of interrupts/SFs for
performance tuning and debug.

Additionally, the SFs are multifunctional devices supporting RDMA,
network devices, clocks, and more, similar to their peer PCI PFs and
VFs. Therefore, it is desirable to have SFs' IRQ information available
at the bus/device level.

To overcome the above limitations, this short series extends the
auxiliary bus to display IRQ information in sysfs, similar to that of
PFs and VFs.

It adds an 'irqs' directory under the auxiliary device and includes an
<irq_num> sysfs file within it.

For example:
$ ls /sys/bus/auxiliary/devices/mlx5_core.sf.1/irqs/
50  51  52  53  54  55  56  57  58

Patch summary:
patch-1 adds auxiliary bus to support irqs used by auxiliary device
patch-2 mlx5 driver using exposing irqs for PCI SF devices via auxiliary
        bus
