Support for upgrading fw on QLogic fastlinq adapters

PPA description

The upstream QLogic fastlinq drivers - which Ubuntu ships - don't support upgrading the on-controller firmware. Older firmware doesn't include arm64 UEFI drivers, which is required to PXE boot. This PPA provides the non-upstream drivers in DKMS format so they can be temporarily installed in order to complete firmware upgrades.
