The generic packet receive code takes care of setting
netdev->last_rx when necessary, for the sake of the
bonding ARP monitor.

This patch implements prefetching of skb->data from a copy of the pointer
in the descriptor (which is already in the L1 cache at this point). This
improves netperf rx performance (netperf -L 0,0 -c -H 192.168.254.2 -- -M
131072 -m 131072) by 4.9% on a P4 Xeon host.

This patch prefetches RxD descriptors which helps to lower the latency of a
cache miss in vxge_hw_ring_rxd_next_completed. This lowers the % of CPU
time used by vxge_hw_ring_rxd_next_completed() where the descriptor is
accessed in profiling netperf on a P4 Xeon from 1.5% to 1.0%.

wmb() is extremely heavy on x86. The semantics required in the driver are
provided by mmiowb(), so use that and improve tx performance on P4 Xeons by
5-10%.

This patch fixes a case in the transmit completion code which was resulting
in pktgen hanging at the end of a run. The cause is due to the fact that
the ->cb[] area of an skb cannot be used in a network driver's transmit
path, as that area belongs to the network protocol. Pktgen hangs, as it
sends out the same packet multiple times, and vxge's use of this area of
the skb for a temporary list can only add the packet to the temporary list
once (while it may be on the queue many times). The fix is to remove this
abuse of skb->cb[]. Instead, skb pointers are placed into a temporary
stack array, and then free outside of the tx lock. This retains the smp
optimization of doing dev_kfree_skb() outside of the tx lock.

The vxge driver will drop a packet in its transmit function if the number
of TxDs available hits 0. Instead of doing that, simply stop the transmit
queue when transmitting a packet with the last available TxD.

- Disable fcs stripping. The minimum frame size that can be received by the
hardware is 57 Bytes. A 64 Byte Ethernet frame with the vlan tag and fcs
stripped will result in a 56 Byte frame which will lock up the receive
engine. The work around is to disable fcs stripping in the hardware which
is done with a firmware upgrade. The fixes are -
1. Ensure that the correct firmware version is used.
2. Decrement the indicated packet length of the receive packet by 4 bytes
(FCS length).

- Enabled SRIOV support in the driver.
- Call __vxge_hw_verify_pci_e_info() for the PF only. This function
verifies the negotiated link width and current link speed in the
Link Status Register (offset 12h) which are reserved fields for VFs
as per the SRIOV specification, section 3.5.8.
- Implemented David Miller's comment to remove the #ifdef CONFIG_PCI_IOV as
these intefaces have NOP versions declared when the defintion is not set.

and 08baf56108
(net: tx scalability works : trans_start)
(net: txq_trans_update() helper)
Now that core network takes care of trans_start updates, dont do it
in drivers themselves, if possible. Multi queue drivers can
avoid one cache miss (on dev->trans_start) in their start_xmit()
handler.
Exceptions are NETIF_F_LLTX drivers (vxge & tehuti)
