Update 5709 mips firmware to 6.2.1a to fix iSCSI performance
regression. There was an unnecessary context read in the fast path
affecting performance.
Update bnx2 to 2.1.6.

Move all shared mem code to bnx2x to avoid code duplication. bnx2x now
performs:
- Read the FCoE and iSCSI max connection information.
- Read the iSCSI and FCoE MACs from NPAR configuration in shmem.
- Block the CNIC for the current function if there is neither FCoE nor
iSCSI valid configuration by returning NULL from bnx2x_cnic_probe().

The 5709 chip requires the BNX2_MISC_NEW_CORE_CTL_DMA_ENABLE bit to be
cleared and polling for pending DMAs to complete before chip reset.
Without this step, we've seen NMIs during repeated resets of the chip.

A number of customers are reporting packet loss under certain workloads
(e.g. heavy bursts of small packets) with flow control disabled. A larger
rx ring helps to prevent these losses.
No change in default rx ring size and memory consumption.

Add prefetches of the skb and the next rx descriptor to speed up rx path.
Use prefetchw() for the skb [suggested by Eric Dumazet].
The rx descriptor is in skb->data which is mapped for streaming mode DMA.
Eric Dumazet pointed out that we should not prefetch the data before
dma_sync. So we prefetch only if dma_sync is no_op on the system.

MTU changes, ring size changes, etc cause the chip to be reset and the
statisctics flushed. To keep track of the accumulated statistics, we
add code to save the whole statistics block before reset. We also
modify the macros and statistics functions to return the sum of the
saved and current counters.

When using bnx2 in a high transmit load, bnx2_tx_int() cost is pretty high.
There are two reasons.
One is an expensive call to bnx2_get_hw_tx_cons(bnapi) for each freed skb
One is cpu stalls when accessing skb_is_gso(skb) / skb_shinfo(skb)->nr_frags
because of two cache line misses.
(One to get skb->end/head to compute skb_shinfo(skb),
one to get is_gso/nr_frags)
This patch :
1) avoids calling bnx2_get_hw_tx_cons(bnapi) too many times.
2) makes bnx2_start_xmit() cache is_gso & nr_frags into sw_tx_bd descriptor.
This uses a litle bit more ram (256 longs per device on x86), but helps a lot.
3) uses a prefetch(&skb->end) to speedup dev_kfree_skb(), bringing
cache line that will be needed in skb_release_data()
result is 5 % bandwidth increase in benchmarks, involving UDP or TCP receive
& transmits, when a cpu is dedicated to ksoftirqd for bnx2.
bnx2_tx_int going from 3.33 % cpu to 0.5 % cpu in oprofile
Note : skb_dma_unmap() still very expensive but this is for another patch,
not related to bnx2 (2.9 % of cpu, while it does nothing on x86_32)
