Aquantia is now part of Marvell, eventually we'll cease standalone
aquantia.com domain. Thus, change the maintainers file and some other
references to @marvell.com domain

atlantic hardware does support UDP hardware segmentation offload.
This allows user to specify one large contiguous buffer with data
which then will be split automagically into multiple UDP packets
of specified size.
Bulk sending of large UDP streams lowers CPU usage and increases
bandwidth.
We did estimations both with udpgso_bench_tx test tool and with modified
iperf3 measurement tool (4 streams, multithread, 200b packet size)
over AQC<->AQC 10G link. Flow control is disabled to prevent RX side
impact on measurements.
No UDP GSO:

Here we add a number of ethtool private flags
to allow enabling various loopbacks on HW.
Thats useful for verification and bringup works.
