The motivation for an additional notifier in batched netdevice
notification (rt_do_flush) only needs to be called once per batch not
once per namespace.
For further batching improvements I need a guarantee that the
netdevices are unregistered in order allowing me to unregister an all
of the network devices in a network namespace at the same time with
the guarantee that the loopback device is really and truly
unregistered last.
Additionally it appears that we moved the route cache flush after
the final synchronize_net, which seems wrong and there was no
explanation. So I have restored the original location of the final
synchronize_net.

This driver has been mostly rewritten since Michael Brown's initial
work, so swap the order of the authors.

This integrates support for the SFC9000 family of 10G Ethernet
controllers and LAN-on-motherboard chips, starting with the SFL9021
'Siena' and SFC9020 'Bethpage'.

This adds support for the SFC9000 family of 10G Ethernet controllers
and LAN-on-motherboard chips, starting with the SFL9021 'Siena' and
SFC9020 'Bethpage'.
The SFC9000 family is based on the SFC4000 'Falcon' architecture, but
with some significant changes:
- Two ports are associated with two independent PCI functions
(except SFC9010)
- Integrated 10GBASE-T PHY(s) (SFL9021/9022)
- MAC, PHY and board peripherals are managed by firmware
- Driver does not require board-specific code
- Firmware supports wake-on-LAN and lights-out management through NC-SI
- IPv6 checksum offload and RSS
- Filtering by MAC address and VLAN (not included in this code)
- PCI SR-IOV (not included in this code)

In new NICs flash is managed by firmware and we will use high-level
operations on partitions rather than direct SPI commands. Add support
for multiple MTD partitions per flash device and remove the direct
link between MTD and SPI devices. Maintain a list of MTD partitions
in struct efx_nic.

New NICs have firmware managing the PHY, and we will discover the PHY
capabilities at run-time. Replace the static data with probe() and
test_name() operations.
