Invalidate sb->s_bdev on remount,ro.
Fixes a problem reported by Jorge Boncompte who is seeing corruption
trying to snapshot a minix filesystem image. Some filesystems modify
their metadata via a path other than the bdev buffer cache (eg. they may
use a private linear mapping for their metadata, or implement directories
in pagecache, etc). Also, file data modifications usually go to the bdev
via their own mappings.
These updates are not coherent with buffercache IO (eg. via /dev/bdev)
and never have been. However there could be a reasonable expectation that
after a mount -oremount,ro operation then the buffercache should
subsequently be coherent with previous filesystem modifications.
So invalidate the bdev mappings on a remount,ro operation to provide a
coherency point.
The problem was exposed when we switched the old rd to brd because old rd
didn't really function like a normal block device and updates to rd via
mappings other than the buffercache would still end up going into its
buffercache. But the same problem has always affected other "normal"
block devices, including loop.

Open coding it makes it tiny bit less heavy on the arithmetic and

This reverts commit 213614d583.
Alas, ->d_revalidate() can't rely on ->lookup() finishing what
it's started; if d_alloc() in do_lookup() fails, we are not going
to call ->lookup() at all.

I create wrong asm code but none test shows that this part of code is wrong.
I am not convinces that were good idea to create asm optimized macros
for caches. The reason is that there is not optimization with previous code
that's why make sense to add old code and do some benchmarking which
functions are faster.

Traffic (tcp) doesnot start on a vlan interface when gro is enabled.
Even the tcp handshake was not taking place.
This is because, the eth_type_trans call before the netif_receive_skb
in napi_gro_finish() resets the skb->dev to napi->dev from the previously
set vlan netdev interface. This causes the ip_route_input to drop the
incoming packet considering it as a packet coming from a martian source.
I could repro this on 2.6.32.7 (stable) and 2.6.33-rc7.
With this fix, the traffic starts and the test runs fine on both vlan
and non-vlan interfaces.

The netif_wake_queue() is called correctly (i.e. only on !txfull
condition) from txdone routine. So Unconditional call to the
netif_wake_queue() here is wrong. This might cause calling of
start_xmit routine on txfull state and trigger BUG_ON.
This bug does not happen when NAPI disabled. After txdone there
must be at least one free tx slot. But with NAPI, this is not
true anymore and the BUG_ON can hits on heavy load.
In this driver NAPI was enabled on 2.6.33-rc1 so this is
regression from 2.6.32 kernel.

It did mention autoconfigured in the text, but the below makes it more obvious.
