Jacob Keller 012164718b devlink: support setting the overwrite mask attribute
The recently added DEVLINK_ATTR_FLASH_UPDATE_OVERWRITE_MASK allows
userspace to indicate how a device should handle subsections of a flash
component when updating. For example, a flash component might contain
vital data such as PCIe serial number or configuration fields such as
settings that control device bootup.

The overwrite mask allows specifying whether the device should overwrite
these subsections when updating from the provided image. If nothing is
specified, then the update is expected to preserve all vital fields and
configuration.

Add support for specifying the overwrite mask using the new "overwrite"
option to the flash command line.

By specifying "overwrite identifiers", the user request that the flash
update should overwrite any settings in the updated flash component with
settings from the provided flash image

  $devlink dev flash pci/0000:af:00.0 file flash_image.bin overwrite identifiers

By specifying "overwrite settings" the user requests that the flash update
should overwrite any settings in the updated flash component with setting
values from the provided flash image.

  $devlink dev flash pci/0000:af:00.0 file flash_image.bin overwrite settings

These options may be combined, in which case both subsections will be sent
in the overwrite mask, resulting in a request to overwrite all settings and
identifiers stored in the updated flash components.

  $devlink dev flash pci/0000:af:00.0 file flash_image.bin overwrite settings overwrite identifiers

How to compile this.
--------------------
1. libdbm

arpd needs to have the berkeleydb development libraries. For Debian
users this is the package with a name like libdbX.X-dev.
DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which
is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley
database routines.  Often this is in the db-devel package.

2. make

The makefile will automatically build a config.mk file which
contains definitions of libraries that may or may not be available
on the system such as: ATM, ELF, MNL, and SELINUX.

3. To make documentation, cd to doc/ directory , then
   look at start of Makefile and set correct values for
   PAGESIZE=a4		, ie: a4 , letter ...	(string)
   PAGESPERPAGE=2	, ie: 1 , 2 ...		(numeric)
   and make there. It assumes, that latex, dvips and psnup
   are in your path.

4. This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because
   the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile
   if you have special requirements and need to point at different
   kernel include files.
