This patch adds proper handling of the vNIC hot removal event, which includes
a rescind-channel-offer message from the host side that triggers vNIC close and
removal. In this case, the notices to the host during close and removal is not
necessary because the channel is rescinded. This patch blocks these unnecessary
messages, and lets vNIC removal process complete normally.

total_data_buflen is used by netvsc_send() to decide if a packet can be put
into send buffer. It should also include the size of RNDIS message before the
Ethernet frame. Otherwise, a messge with total size bigger than send_section_size
may be copied into the send buffer, and cause data corruption.

When the buffer is too small for a packet from VMBus, a bigger buffer will be
allocated in netvsc_channel_cb() and retry reading the packet from VMBus.
Increasing this buffer size will reduce the retry overhead.

Intel did some benchmarking on our network throughput when Linux on Hyper-V
is as used as a gateway. This fix gave us almost a 1 Gbps additional throughput
on about 5Gbps base throughput we hadi, prior to increasing the sendbuf size.
The sendbuf mechanism is a copy based transport that we have which is clearly
more optimal than the copy-free page flipping mechanism (for small packets).
In the forwarding scenario, we deal only with MTU sized packets,
and increasing the size of the senbuf area gave us the additional performance.
For what it is worth, Windows guests on Hyper-V, I am told use similar sendbuf
size as well.
The exact value of sendbuf I think is less important than the fact that it needs
to be larger than what Linux can allocate as physically contiguous memory.
Thus the change over to allocating via vmalloc().
We currently allocate 16MB receive buffer and we use vmalloc there for allocation.
Also the low level channel code has already been modified to deal with physically
dis-contiguous memory in the ringbuffer setup.
Based on experimentation Intel did, they say there was some improvement in throughput
as the sendbuf size was increased up to 16MB and there was no effect on throughput
beyond 16MB. Thus I have chosen 16MB here.
Increasing the sendbuf value makes a material difference in small packet handling
In this version of the patch, based on David's feedback, I have added
additional details in the commit log.

net: get rid of SET_ETHTOOL_OPS

This does that.
Mostly done via coccinelle script:

struct ethtool_ops *ops;
struct net_device *dev;
@@
- SET_ETHTOOL_OPS(dev, ops);
+ dev->ethtool_ops = ops;
Compile tested only, but I'd seriously wonder if this broke anything.

The netlink conflict dealt with moving to netlink_capable() and
netlink_ns_capable() in the 'net' tree vs. supporting 'tc' operations
in non-init namespaces. These were simple transformations from
netlink_capable to netlink_ns_capable.
The Altera driver conflict was simply code removal overlapping some
