The CNIC driver controls BNX2 hardware rings and resources used by
iSCSI.  Most hardware resources for iSCSI are separate from those
used for ethernet networking.

iSCSI uses a separate MAC address and IP address.  The CNIC driver
creates a UIO interface to handle the non-offloaded packets such as
ARP, etc in userspace.
