Many NICs use an indirection table to map an RX flow hash value to one
of an arbitrary number of queues (not necessarily a power of 2). It
can be useful to remove some queues from this indirection table so
that they are only used for flows that are specifically filtered
there. It may also be useful to weight the mapping to account for
user processes with the same CPU-affinity as the RX interrupts.

ethtool_op_set_flags() does not check for unsupported flags, and has
no way of doing so. This means it is not suitable for use as a
default implementation of ethtool_ops::set_flags.
Add a 'supported' parameter specifying the flags that the driver and
hardware support, validate the requested flags against this, and
change all current callers to pass this parameter.
Change some other trivial implementations of ethtool_ops::set_flags to
call ethtool_op_set_flags().

Gcc is currenlty not in the ability to optimize the switch statement in
sk_run_filter() because of dense case labels. This patch replace the
OR'd labels with ordered sequenced case labels. The sk_chk_filter()
function is modified to patch/replace the original OPCODES in a
ordered but equivalent form. gcc is now in the ability to transform the
switch statement in sk_run_filter into a jump table of complexity O(1).
Until this patch gcc generates a sequence of conditional branches (O(n) of 567
byte .text segment size (arch x86_64):
7ff: 8b 06 mov (%rsi),%eax
801: 66 83 f8 35 cmp $0x35,%ax
805: 0f 84 d0 02 00 00 je adb <sk_run_filter+0x31d>
80b: 0f 87 07 01 00 00 ja 918 <sk_run_filter+0x15a>
811: 66 83 f8 15 cmp $0x15,%ax
815: 0f 84 c5 02 00 00 je ae0 <sk_run_filter+0x322>
81b: 77 73 ja 890 <sk_run_filter+0xd2>

827: 77 29 ja 852 <sk_run_filter+0x94>
829: 66 83 f8 01 cmp $0x1,%ax
[...]
With the modification the compiler translate the switch statement into
the following jump table fragment:
7ff: 66 83 3e 2c cmpw $0x2c,(%rsi)
803: 0f 87 1f 02 00 00 ja a28 <sk_run_filter+0x26a>
809: 0f b7 06 movzwl (%rsi),%eax

813: 44 89 e3 mov %r12d,%ebx
816: e9 43 03 00 00 jmpq b5e <sk_run_filter+0x3a0>
81b: 41 89 dc mov %ebx,%r12d
81e: e9 3b 03 00 00 jmpq b5e <sk_run_filter+0x3a0>
Furthermore, I reordered the instructions to reduce cache line misses by
order the most common instruction to the start.

To properly implement 64bits network statistics on 32bit or 64bit hosts,
we provide one new type and four methods, to ease conversions.
Stats producer should use following template granted it already got an
exclusive access to counters (include/linux/u64_stats_sync.h contains
some documentation about details)
u64_stats_update_begin(&stats->syncp);
stats->bytes64 += len;
stats->packets64++;
u64_stats_update_end(&stats->syncp);
While a consumer should use following template to get consistent
snapshot :
u64 tbytes, tpackets;
unsigned int start;
do {
start = u64_stats_fetch_begin(&stats->syncp);
tbytes = stats->bytes64;
tpackets = stats->packets64;
} while (u64_stats_fetch_retry(&stats->lock, syncp));

There are two debug servers on the modem, one for radio related
debug (CAIF_RADIO_DEBUG_SERVICE) and the other for
communication/application related debug (CAIF_COM_DEBUG_SERVICE).
The debug connection can contain trace debug printouts or
interactive debug used for debugging and test.
Debug connections can be of type STREAM or SEQPACKET.

Define what happens when a we view a uid from one user_namespace
in another user_namepece.
- If the user namespaces are the same no mapping is necessary.
- For most cases of difference use overflowuid and overflowgid,
the uid and gid currently used for 16bit apis when we have a 32bit uid
that does fit in 16bits. Effectively the situation is the same,
we want to return a uid or gid that is not assigned to any user.
- For the case when we happen to be mapping the uid or gid of the
creator of the target user namespace use uid 0 and gid as confusing
that user with root is not a problem.

In old kernels, NET_SKB_PAD was defined to 16.
Then commit d6301d3dd1 (net: Increase default NET_SKB_PAD to 32), and
commit 18e8c134f4 (net: Increase NET_SKB_PAD to 64 bytes) increased it
to 64.
While first patch was governed by network stack needs, second was more
driven by performance issues on current hardware. Real intent was to
align data on a cache line boundary.
So use max(32, L1_CACHE_BYTES) instead of 64, to be more generic.
Remove microblaze and powerpc own NET_SKB_PAD definitions.

This patch adds the helper netpoll_tx_running for use within
ndo_start_xmit. It returns non-zero if ndo_start_xmit is being
invoked by netpoll, and zero otherwise.
This is currently implemented by simply looking at the hardirq
count. This is because for all non-netpoll uses of ndo_start_xmit,
IRQs must be enabled while netpoll always disables IRQs before
calling ndo_start_xmit.

The use of RCU in netpoll is incorrect in a number of places:
1) The initial setting is lacking a write barrier.
2) The synchronize_rcu is in the wrong place.
3) Read barriers are missing.
4) Some places are even missing rcu_read_lock.
5) npinfo is zeroed after freeing.
This patch fixes those issues. As most users are in BH context,
this also converts the RCU usage to the BH variant.
