Move mlx5_vdpa IFC header file to the general include folder, so mlx5_core will be able to reuse it to check if VDPA is supported prior to creating an auxiliary device.
I don't really like this, the whole idea of aux devices is that they get to do own logic and hide details, now we are exposing aux specific stuff to the bus .. let's figure a way to avoid such exposure as we discussed yesterday.
is_supported check shouldn't belong to mlx5_core and each aux device (en/ib/vdpa) should implement own is_supported op and keep the details hidden in the aux driver like it was before this patch.
