Sub-epic of #870 (Support hosts without DPUs).
Tracks steady-state support for a BlueField DPU running in NIC mode (operating as a plain NIC) — as distinct from the mode-flip mechanics tracked in #2629.
Scope
- Per-host and site-level
dpu_mode settings (DPU vs NIC mode)
- Networking parity between NIC mode and zero-DPU (
NoDpu) hosts
- Provisioning-state handling so NIC-mode DPUs do not get stuck in BFB states
- Firmware management and NIC firmware-version reporting for DPUs in NIC mode
