When analysing performance of the cxgb3 on a ppc64 box I noticed that
we weren't doing much GRO merging. It turns out we are limited by the
number of SKB frags:
#define MAX_SKB_FRAGS (65536/PAGE_SIZE + 2)
With a 4kB page size we have 18 frags, but with a 64kB page size we
only have 3 frags.
I ran a single stream TCP bandwidth test to compare the performance of

After commit d5dbda2380 "ethtool: Add
support for vlan accleration.", drivers that have NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_TX,
and/or NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_RX feature, but do not allow enable/disable vlan
acceleration via ethtool set_flags, always return -EINVAL from that
function. Fix by returning -EINVAL only if requested features do not
match current settings and can not be changed by driver.
Change any driver that define ethtool->set_flags to use
ethtool_invalid_flags() to avoid similar problems in the future
(also on drivers that do not have the problem).
Tested with modified (to reproduce this bug) myri10ge driver.

can_ioctl is the only reason for struct proto to be non-const.
script/check-patch.pl suggests struct proto be const.
Setting the reference to the common can_ioctl() in all CAN protocols directly
removes the need to make the struct proto writable in af_can.c

Using blue flame can improve latency by allowing the HW to more efficiently
access the WQE. This patch presents two functions that are used to allocate or
release HW resources for using blue flame; the caller need to supply a struct
mlx4_bf object when allocating resources. Consumers that make use of this API
should post doorbells to the UAR object pointed by the initialized struct
mlx4_bf;

The mlx4_en module now uses the new steering mechanism.
The RX packets are now steered through the MCG table instead
of Mac table for unicast, and default entry for multicast.
The feature is enabled through INIT_HCA

Adding a pool of MSI-X vectors and EQs that can be used explicitly by mlx4_core
customers (mlx4_ib, mlx4_en). The consumers will assign their own names to the
interrupt vectors. Those vectors are not opened at mlx4 device initialization,
opened by demand.
Changed the max number of possible EQs according to the new scheme, no longer relies on
on number of cores.
The new functionality is exposed through mlx4_assign_eq() and mlx4_release_eq().
Customers that do not use the new API will get completion vectors as before.

With recent changes to the driver(switch to new cpdma layer),
the support for buffer descriptor address translation logic
is broken. This affects platforms where the physical address of
the descriptors as seen by the DMA engine is different from the
physical address.
