This patch enables TCP checksum offload support for IPv6 on ibmveth.
This completely eliminates the generation and checking of the checksum
for IPv6 packets that are completely virtual and never touch a physical
network. A basic TCPIPV6_STREAM netperf run showed a ~30% throughput
improvement when an MTU of 64000 was used.
This featured is enabled by default, as is the case for IPv4 checksum
offload. When checksum offload is enabled the driver will negotiate
IPv4 and IPv6 offload with the firmware separately and enable what
is available. As long as either IPv4 or IPv6 offload is supported
and enabled the device will report that checksum offload is enabled.
The device stats, available through ethtool, will display which
checksum offload features are supported/enabled by firmware.
Performance testing against a stock kernel shows no regression for IPv4
or IPv6 in terms of throughput or processor utilization with checksum
disabled or enabled.

Remove code in the device probe function where we set up the checksum
offload feature and replace it with a call to an existing function that
is doing the same. This is done to clean up the driver in preparation
of adding IPv6 checksum offload support.

Use the existing bounce buffer if we send a buffer under a certain size.
This saves the overhead of a TCE map/unmap.
I can't see any reason for the wmb() in the bounce buffer case, if we need
a barrier it will be before we call h_send_logical_lan but we have
nothing in the common case. Remove it.

The ibmveth adapter needs locking in the transmit routine to protect
the bounce_buffer but it sets LLTX and forgets to add any of its own
locking.
Just remove the deprecated LLTX option. Remove the stats lock in the process.

At the moment we try and replenish the receive ring on every rx interrupt.
We even have a pool->threshold but aren't using it.
To limit the maximum latency incurred when refilling, change the threshold
from 1/2 to 7/8 and reduce the largest rx pool from 768 buffers to 512 which
should be more than enough.

Add code to expand the headroom of an outgoing TIPC message if the
sk_buff has insufficient room to hold the header for the associated
Ethernet device. This change is necessary to ensure that messages
TIPC does not create itself (eg. incoming messages that are being
routed to another node) do not cause problems, since TIPC has no
control over the amount of headroom available in such messages.

Optimizes TIPC's name table translation code to avoid unnecessary
manipulation of the node address field of the resulting port id when
name translation fails. This change is possible because a valid port
id cannot have a reference field of zero, so examining the reference
only is sufficient to determine if the translation was successful.

While porting GRO to r8169, I found this driver has a bug in its rx
path.
All skbs given to network stack had their ip_summed set to
CHECKSUM_NONE, while hardware said they had correct TCP/UDP checksums.
The reason is driver sets skb->ip_summed on the original skb before the
copy eventually done by copybreak. The fresh skb gets the ip_summed =
CHECKSUM_NONE value, forcing network stack to recompute checksum, and
preventing my GRO patch to work.
Fix is to make the ip_summed setting after skb copy.
Note : rx_copybreak current value is 16383, so all frames are copied...

The current IPv6 behavior is to not accept router advertisements while
forwarding, i.e. configured as router.
This does make sense, a router is typically not supposed to be auto
configured. However there are exceptions and we should allow the
current behavior to be overwritten.
Therefore this patch enables the user to overrule the "if forwarding
enabled then don't listen to RAs" rule by setting accept_ra to the
special value of 2.
An alternative would be to ignore the forwarding switch alltogether
and solely accept RAs based on the value of accept_ra. However, I
found that if not intended, accepting RAs as a router can lead to
strange unwanted behavior therefore we it seems wise to only do so
if the user explicitely asks for this behavior.

Add a call to of_node_put in the error handling code following a call to
of_find_matching_node.
This patch also moves the existing call to of_node_put after the call to
iounmap in the error handling code, to make it possible to jump to
of_node_put without doing iounmap. These appear to be disjoint operations,
so the ordering doesn't matter.
This patch furthermore changes the -ENODEV result in the error handling
code for of_find_matching_node to a return of 0, as found in the error
handling code for of_iomap, because the return type of the function is
unsigned.
The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
