patch 'break out of polling loop on error' caused
a minor performance regression on my machine: recover
that performance by adding a bunch of unlikely annotations
in the error handling.

When ring parsing fails, we currently handle this
as ring empty condition. This means that we enable
kicks and recheck ring empty: if this not empty,
we re-start polling which of course will fail again.
Instead, let's return a negative error code and stop polling.

sky2_phy_reinit is called by the ethtool helpers sky2_set_settings,
sky2_nway_reset and sky2_set_pauseparam when netif_running.
However, at the end of sky2_phy_init GM_GP_CTRL has GM_GPCR_RX_ENA and
GM_GPCR_TX_ENA cleared. So, doing these commands causes the device to
stop working:
$ ethtool -r eth0
$ ethtool -A eth0 autoneg off
Fix this issue by enabling Rx/Tx after running sky2_phy_init in
sky2_phy_reinit.

This patch removes the setting of the low_latency flag.
tty_flip_buffer_push() is occasionally being called in irq context, which
causes a hang if the low_latency flag is set.
Removing the low_latency flag only seems to impact the flush to ldisc,
which will now be put on a workqueue.

It has been reported that the new UFO software fallback path
fails under certain conditions with NFS. I tracked the problem
down to the generation of UFO packets that are smaller than the
MTU. The software fallback path simply discards these packets.
This patch fixes the problem by not generating such packets on
the UFO path.

It is common in end-node, non STP bridges to set forwarding
delay to zero; which causes the forwarding database cleanup
to run every clock tick. Change to run only as soon as needed
or at next ageing timer interval which ever is sooner.

This removes dma_get_ops() prefetch optimization in bnx2.
bnx2 uses dma_get_ops() to see if dma_sync_single_for_cpu() is
noop. bnx2 does prefetch if it's noop.
But dma_get_ops() isn't available on all the architectures (only the
architectures that uses dma_map_ops struct have it). Using
dma_get_ops() in drivers leads to compilation breakage on many
architectures.
This patch removes dma_get_ops() and changes bnx2 to do prefetch on
all the architectures. This adds useless prefetch on non-coherent
architectures but this is harmless. It is also unlikely to cause the
performance drop.

Dumped buffer descriptors showed that eTSEC's length/truncation
logic sometimes passes oversized packets, i.e. for the above ICMP
packet the following two buffer descriptors may become ready:
status=1400 length=1536
status=1800 length=1541
So, it seems that gianfar actually receives the whole big frame,
and it tries to place the packet into two BDs. This situation
confuses the driver, and so the skb_put() sanity check fails.
This patch fixes the issue by adding an appropriate check, i.e.
the driver should not try to process frames with buffer
descriptor's length over rx_buffer_size (i.e. maxfrm and mrblr).
Note that sometimes eTSEC works correctly, i.e. in the second
(last) buffer descriptor bits 'truncated' and 'crcerr' are set,
and so there's no oops. Though I couldn't find any logic when
it works correctly and when not.

The sch_teql module, which can be used to load balance over a set of
underlying interfaces, stopped working after 2.6.30 and has been
broken in all kernels since then for any underlying interface which
requires the addition of link level headers.
The problem is that the transmit routine relies on being able to
access the destination address in the skb in order to do address
resolution once it has decided which underlying interface it is going
to transmit through.
In 2.6.31 the IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE flag was introduced, and set by
default for all interfaces, which causes the destination address to be
released before the transmit routine for the interface is called.
The solution is to clear that flag for teql interfaces.

Previously the RCTRL_TS_ENABLE bit was set unconditionally. However, if
the RCTRL_TS_ENABLE is set without TMR_CTRL[TE], the driver does not work
properly on some boards (Anton had problems with the MPC8313ERDB and
MPC8568EMDS).
With this patch the bit will only be set if requested from user space
with the SIOCSHWTSTAMP ioctl command, meaning that time stamping is
disabled during normal operation. Users who are not interested in time
stamps will not experience problems with buggy CPU revisions or
performance drops any more.
The setting of TMR_CTRL[TE] is still up to the user. This is considered
safe because users wanting HW timestamps must initialize the eTSEC clock
first anyway, e.g. with the recently submitted PTP clock driver.
