bnx2x: SR-IOV version compatibility bugfix
When posting a message on the bulletin board, the PF calculates crc over the message and places the result in the message. When the VF samples the Bulletin Board it copies the message aside and validates this crc. The length of the message is crucial here and must be the same in both parties. Since the PF is running in the Hypervisor and the VF is running in a Vm, they can possibly be of different versions. As the Bulletin Board is designed to grow forward in future versions, in the VF the length must not be the size of the message structure but instead it should be a field in the message itself.
