Bug Description

The mellanox and broadcom drivers contained a "dynamic interrupt moderation" feature (as early as v5.0) which was broken out into a common kernel library 'DIMLIB' in lib/dim/ circa mainline v5.2.

Backported drivers may now need DIMLIB to be available in pre-5.2 kernels (specifically, the latest upstream version of net/ethernet/amazon/ena does: see bug 1853180).

For Disco:
    Apply all the mainline commits from v5.2 which extract DIMLIB from mellanox/broadcom and wire those drivers to use DIMLIB (plus a few later DIMLIB fixes). I.e. make Disco work the same as > 5.2 kernels; no significant functional change to those drivers.

For Bionic and Xenial:
    Import the lib/dim/ directory from mainline (plus a couple porting prerequisites), but do *not* make mellanox/broadcom use it. I.e. no functional change at all.
