slave port example

Hi all,

I'm the author of net/intel-ixl-kmod and I work for Intel.

The ixl port was made to be a master one, that means to serve as a base for
other driver ports' (slaves). Here's the example of how this port would look
like being a slave to net/intel-ixl-kmod. The patch includes a small change to
the ixl port as well to be able to override the MAINTAINER.

This approach has some advantages:
- You don't have to repeat a lot of code
- If anything big changes to all the drivers - it will be changed in the master
port and automatically propagated to others.

If you would consider this - just substitute your patch with mine.

Regards,
Sergey
