regression fixes (ACPI hotplug, cpufreq ppc-corenet), other bug fixes
(ACPI reset, cpufreq), new PM trace points for system suspend

Specifics:
- I didn't remember correctly that the Hans de Goede's ACPI video
patches actually didn't flip the video.use_native_backlight
default, although we had discussed that and decided to do that.
Since I said we would do that in the previous PM+ACPI pull request,
make that change for real now.
- ACPI bus check notifications for PCI host bridges don't cause the
bus below the host bridge to be checked for changes as they should
because of a mistake in the ACPI-based PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP)
subsystem that forgets to add hotplug contexts to PCI host bridge
ACPI device objects. Create hotplug contexts for PCI host bridges
too as appropriate.
- Revert recent cpufreq commit related to the big.LITTLE cpufreq
driver that breaks arm64 builds.
- Fix for a regression in the ppc-corenet cpufreq driver introduced
during the 3.15 cycle and causing the driver to use the remainder
from do_div instead of the quotient. From Ed Swarthout.
- Resets triggered by panic activate a BUG_ON() in vmalloc.c on
systems where the ACPI reset register is located in memory address
space. Fix from Randy Wright.
- Fix for a problem with cpufreq governors that decisions made by
them may be suboptimal due to the fact that deferrable timers are
used by them for CPU load sampling. From Srivatsa S Bhat.
- Fix for a problem with the Tegra cpufreq driver where the CPU
frequency is temporarily switched to a "stable" level that is
different from both the initial and target frequencies during
transitions which causes udelay() to expire earlier than it should
sometimes. From Viresh Kumar.

When running RHEL6 userspace on a current upstream kernel, "ip link"
fails to show VF information.
The reason is a kernel<->userspace API change introduced by commit
88c5b5ce5c ("rtnetlink: Call nlmsg_parse() with correct header length"),
after which the kernel does not see iproute2's IFLA_EXT_MASK attribute
in the netlink request.
iproute2 adjusted for the API change in its commit 63338dca4513
("libnetlink: Use ifinfomsg instead of rtgenmsg in rtnl_wilddump_req_filter").
The problem has been noticed before:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=136692296022182&w=2
(Subject: Re: getting VF link info seems to be broken in 3.9-rc8)
We can do better than tell those with old userspace to upgrade. We can
recognize the old iproute2 in the kernel by checking the netlink message
length. Even when including the IFLA_EXT_MASK attribute, its netlink
message is shorter than struct ifinfomsg.
With this patch "ip link" shows VF information in both old and new
iproute2 versions.

FEC HW support IP header and TCP/UDP hw checksum, support multi buffer descriptor transfer
one frame, but don't support HW TSO. And imx6q/dl SOC FEC Gbps speed has HW bus Bandwidth
limitation (400Mbps ~ 700Mbps), imx6sx SOC FEC Gbps speed has no HW bandwidth limitation.
The patch set just enable TSO feature, which is done following the mv643xx_eth driver.
Test result analyze:
imx6dl sabresd board: there have 82% improvement, since imx6dl FEC HW has bandwidth limitation,
the performance with SW TSO is a milestone.
Addition test:
imx6sx sdb board:
upstream still don't support imx6sx due to some patches being upstream... they use same FEC IP.
Use the SW TSO patches test imx6sx sdb board in internal kernel tree:
No SW TSO patch: tx bandwidth 840Mbps, cpu loading is 100%.
SW TSO patch: tx bandwidth 942Mbps, cpu loading is 65%.
It means the patch set have great improvement for imx6sx FEC performance.
V2:
* From Frank Li's suggestion:
Change the API "fec_enet_txdesc_entry_free" name to "fec_enet_get_free_txdesc_num".
* Summary David Laight and Eric Dumazet's thoughts:
RX BD entry number change to 256.
* From ezequiel's suggestion:
Follow the latest TSO fixes from his solution to rework the queue stop/wake-up.
Avoid unmapping the TSO header buffers.
* From Eric Dumazet's suggestion:
Avoid more bytes copy, just copying the unaligned part of the payload into first
descriptor. The suggestion will bring more complex for the driver, and imx6dl FEC
DMA need 16 bytes alignment, but cpu loading is not problem that cpu loading is
30%, the current performance is so better. Later chip like imx6sx Gigbit FEC DMA
support byte alignment, so there don't exist memory copy. So, the V2 version drop
the suggestion.
Anyway, thanks for Eric's response and suggestion.
V3:
* From David Laight's feedback:
Decide to drop RX BD entry number change for the SW TSO patch set.
I will generate one separate patch to increase RX BDs entry for interrupt coalescing feature which
will be supported in my later patch set.
V4:
* From David Laight's feedback:
Remove the conditional in .fec_enet_get_bd_index().
V5:
* Patch #4 update:
From David Laight's feedback:
"expect fec_enet_get_free_txdesc_num() to return one less than it does currently."
Change the function:
Return space available, 0..size-1. it always leave one free entry. Which is same as linux circ_buf.
Thanks for Eric and ezequiel's help and idea.

In order to enhance the code readable, let's factorize the
feature list.

IP header checksum is calcalated by network layer in default.
To support software TSO, it is better to use HW calculate the
IP header checksum.
FEC hw checksum feature request the checksum field in frame
is zero, otherwise the calculative CRC is not correct.
For segmentated TCP packet, HW calculate the IP header checksum again,
it doesn't bring any impact. For SW TSO, HW calculated checksum bring
better performance.

Make the code more readable and easy to support other features like
SG, TSO, moving the common transmit function to one api.
And the patch also factorize the getting BD index to it own function.
