This patch updates some of the flow_dissector api so that it can be used to
parse the length of ethernet buffers stored in fragments. Most of the
changes needed were to __skb_get_poff as it needed to be updated to support
sending a linear buffer instead of a skb.
I have split __skb_get_poff into two functions, the first is skb_get_poff
and it retains the functionality of the original __skb_get_poff. The other
function is __skb_get_poff which now works much like __skb_flow_dissect in
relation to skb_flow_dissect in that it provides the same functionality but
works with just a data buffer and hlen instead of needing an skb.

Some systems can use the normally known u16 alignment of
Ethernet addresses to save some code/text bytes and cycles.
This does not change currently emitted code on x86 by gcc 4.8.

If CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is set,
several is_<foo>_ether_addr functions can be slightly
improved by using u32 dereferences.
I believe all current uses of is_zero_ether_addr and
is_broadcast_ether_addr are u16 aligned, so always use
u16 references to improve those functions performance.
Document the u16 alignment requirements.

Add a generic routine to test if possibly unaligned
to u16 Ethernet addresses are equal.
If CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is set,
this uses the slightly faster generic routine
ether_addr_equal, otherwise this uses memcmp.

Add a new check for CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS to reduce
the number of or's used in the ether_addr_equal comparison to very
slightly improve function performance.
Simplify the ether_addr_equal_64bits implementation.
Integrate and remove the zap_last_2bytes helper as it's now
used only once.
Remove the now unused compare_ether_addr function.
Update the unaligned-memory-access documentation to remove the
compare_ether_addr description and show how unaligned accesses
could occur with ether_addr_equal.

There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern
in the kernel sources. Standardize on not using extern for
function prototypes.
Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern.
extern is assumed by the compiler. Its use is as unnecessary as
using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

When we set mac address, software mac address in system and hardware mac
address all need to be updated. Current eth_mac_addr() doesn't allow
callers to implement error handling nicely.
This patch split eth_mac_addr() to prepare part and real commit part,
then we can prepare first, and try to change hardware address, then do
the real commit if hardware address is set successfully.

Since this array is no longer part of the bridge driver, it should
have an 'eth' prefix not 'br'.
We also assume that either it's 16-bit-aligned or the architecture has
efficient unaligned access. Ensure the first of these is true by
explicitly aligning it.

In SR-IOV mode the PF driver acts as the uplink port and is
used to send control packets e.g. lldpad, stp, etc.
eth0.1 eth0.2 eth0
VF VF PF
| | | <-- stand-in for uplink
| | |
--------------------------
| Embedded Switch |
--------------------------
|
MAC <-- uplink
But the embedded switch is setup to forward multicast addresses
to all interfaces both VFs and PF and onto the physical link.
This results in reserved MAC addresses used by control protocols
to be forwarded over the switch onto the VF.
In the LLDP case the PF sends an LLDPDU and it is currently
being forwarded to all the VFs who then see the PF as a peer.
This is incorrect.
This patch adds the multicast addresses to the RAR table in the
hardware to prevent this behavior.

Neither compare_ether_addr() nor compare_ether_addr_64bits()
(as it can fall back to the former) have comparison semantics
like memcmp() where the sign of the return value indicates sort
order. We had a bug in the wireless code due to a blind memcmp
replacement because of this.
A cursory look suggests that the wireless bug was the only one
due to this semantic difference.

Renamed dev_hw_addr_random to eth_hw_addr_random() to reflect that
this function only assign a random ethernet address (MAC). Removed
the second parameter (u8 *hwaddr), it's redundant since the also
given net_device already contains net_device->dev_addr.
Set it directly.
Adapt igbvf and ixgbevf to the changed function.
Small fix for ixgbevf_probe(): if ixgbevf_sw_init() fails
(which means the device got no dev_addr) handle the error and
jump to err_sw_init as already done by igbvf in similar case.
