e1000e (and e1000, igb, ixgbe, ixgb) all do a series of operations each
time a multicast address is added. The flow goes something like
1) stack adds one multicast address
2) stack passes whole current list of unicast and multicast addresses to
driver
3) driver clears entire list in hardware
4) driver programs each multicast address using iomem in a loop
This was causing multicast packets to be lost during the reprogramming
process.

Thanks to Dave Boutcher for his report and test program.
This driver fix prepares an array all at once in memory and programs it in
one shot to the hardware, not requiring an "erase" cycle. It would still
be possible for packets to be dropped while the receiver is off during
reprogramming.

e1000e: allow tx of pre-formatted vlan tagged packets
We lost one line, this fixes that missing

As with igb, when the e1000e driver is fed 802.1q
packets with hardware checksum on, it chokes with an
error of the form:
checksum_partial proto=81!
As the logic there was not smart enough to look into
the vlan header to pick out the encapsulated protocol.
There are times when we'd like to send these packets
out without having to configure a vlan on the interface.
Here we check for the vlan tag and allow the packet to
go out wiht the correct hardware checksum.
Thanks to Kand Ly <kand@riverbed.com> for discovering the
issue and the coming up with a solution. This patch is
based upon his work.

There were a few issues I noticed in e1000e. These include a double free
of the skb if mapping fails, and the fact that context descriptors appear
to be left in the descriptor ring after the failure.

Single-thread access must be ensured for ICH8 NVM and PHY operations.
This synchronization is provided by the nvm_mutex. To assist in
understanding the contexts from which this code could be reached,
a WARN was output if the mutex was not going to be immediately
acquirable (if !mutex_trylock()). The code has now been optimized,
and we have verified that the few remaining mutex contentions are
reasonable and non-blocking, and it is time to remove the
mutex_trylock() and WARN messages.

This patch addresses an issue where we did not restart auto-negotiation on
serdes links when the link partner was disabled and re-enabled. It includes
reworking the serdes link detect mechanism to be a state machine for
82571 and 82572 parts only.

RXSEQ interrupts were used to force link state interrogation of serdes
links, as the Si was not guaranteed to report LSC interrupts when the
link changed state. On some bladeservers this resulted in false link up
reports if no link partner was connected. The RXSEQ treatment is
not necessary, as the link can be monitored from the watchdog timer, and
the false link indications cease.

82571 and 82572 Errata #13 documents that the Si feature DMA Dynamic
Clock Gating should be disabled, and identifies the workaround of
disabling the feature by EEPROM setting. EEPROM versions that do not
include the recommended workaround have been found in the field, and so
some customers remain at risk. Because the feature DMA Dynamic clock
Gating can be disabled by directly setting the appropriate bit in the
E1000_CTRL_EXT register, this patch overrides the EEPROM setting, and
force-disables the feature.

There is a hardware errata in some revisions of the 82574 that needs

LLTX is deprecated and complicated, don't use it. It was observed by Don Ash
<donash4@gmail.com> that e1000e was acquiring this lock in the NAPI cleanup
path. This is obviously a bug, as this is a leftover from when e1000
supported multiple tx queues and fake netdevs.
another user reported this to us and tested routing with the 2.6.27 kernel and
this patch and reported a 3.5 % improvement in packets forwarded in a
multi-port test on 82571 parts.

Adds process name of the current mutex holder to the WARN message output
when the e1000e driver attempts to acquire the nvm_mutex and finds that
it is already being held. With this patch the WARN message indicates
both the process name of the current mutex holder and the process name of
the attempted acquisition, which together will help to identify the
contending codepaths.
