(KISS is Keep It Simple, Stupid. Or is it?) The client interface vastly overengineered for what it needs to do. It was originally designed to support multiple clients on multiple netdevs, possibly even with multiple drivers. None of this happened, and now we know that there will only ever be one client for i40e (i40iw) and one for i40evf (i40iwvf). So, time for some KISS. Since i40e and i40evf are a Dynasty, we'll simplify this one to match the VF interface. First, be a Destroyer and remove all of the lists and locks required to support multiple clients. Keep one static around to keep track of one client, and track the client instances for each netdev in the driver's pf (or adapter) struct. Now it's Almost Human. Since we already know the client type is iWarp, get rid of any checks for this. Same for VSI type - it's always going to be the same type, so it's just a Parasite. While we're at it, fix up some comments. This makes the function headers actually match the functions. These changes reduce code complexity, simplify maintenance, squash some lurking timing bugs, and allow us to Rock and Roll All Nite.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
