    kernel: Add KERNEL_DCB (Data Center Bridging)
    
    The kmod-mlxsw-spectrum driver activated CONFIG_DCB indirectly already
    on all targets which are building this driver. All other DCB capable
    driver did not activate their DCB support.
    
    CONFIG_DCB increases the uncompressed kernel size by about 7.8KB.
    
    CONFIG_DCB is only needed some data center Ethernet cards and not used
    on normal routers. Activate it only on the x86_64 and the armsr_arm64
    target which are used on normal servers or in VMs.

+	  NICs and switches to support network traffic with differing
+	  requirements (highly reliable, no drops vs. best effort vs. low
+	  latency) to co-exist on Ethernet.
+
+	  DCB features include:
+	    Enhanced Transmission Selection (aka Priority Grouping) - provides a
+	      framework for assigning bandwidth guarantees to traffic classes.
+	    Priority-based Flow Control (PFC) - a MAC control pause frame which
+	      works at the granularity of the 802.1p priority instead of the
+	      link (802.3x).
