- Set the USE_INT_PARAM bit so the rx-frames-irq and tx-frames-irq will take
effect on 5709.
- Increase the default rx-frames to reduce interrupt count.
- Decrease the default rx-frames-irq and tx-frames-irq to catch more events
during NAPI poll.
All these will reduce interrupts without affecting latency.

I found a little bug.
When configure in ifcfg-eth* is ONBOOT=no,
the behavior of ethtool command is wrong.
# grep ONBOOT /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2
ONBOOT=no
# ethtool eth2 | tail -n1

I think "Link detected" should be "no".

This patch is inspired by patch recently posted by Johannes Berg. Basically what
my patch does is to group list and a count of addresses into newly introduced
structure netdev_hw_addr_list. This brings us two benefits:
1) struct net_device becames a bit nicer.
2) in the future there will be a possibility to operate with lists independently
on netdevices (with exporting right functions).
I wanted to introduce this patch before I'll post a multicast lists conversion.

skb_dma_unmap() is quite expensive for small packets,
because we use two different cache lines from skb_shared_info.
One to access nr_frags, one to access dma_maps[0]
Instead of dma_maps being an array of MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1 elements,
let dma_head alone in a new dma_head field, close to nr_frags,
to reduce cache lines misses.
Tested on my dev machine (bnx2 & tg3 adapters), nice speedup !

This patch converts unicast address list to standard list_head using
previously introduced struct netdev_hw_addr. It also relaxes the
locking. Original spinlock (still used for multicast addresses) is not
needed and is no longer used for a protection of this list. All
reading and writing takes place under rtnl (with no changes).
I also removed a possibility to specify the length of the address
while adding or deleting unicast address. It's always dev->addr_len.
The convertion touched especially e1000 and ixgbe codes when the
change is not so trivial.

Second round of drivers for Gb cards (and NIU one I forgot in the 10GB round)
Now that core network takes care of trans_start updates, dont do it
in drivers themselves, if possible. Drivers can avoid one cache miss
(on dev->trans_start) in their start_xmit() handler.
Exceptions are NETIF_F_LLTX drivers

When using bnx2 in a high transmit load, bnx2_tx_int() cost is pretty high.
There are two reasons.
One is an expensive call to bnx2_get_hw_tx_cons(bnapi) for each freed skb
One is cpu stalls when accessing skb_is_gso(skb) / skb_shinfo(skb)->nr_frags
because of two cache line misses.
(One to get skb->end/head to compute skb_shinfo(skb),
one to get is_gso/nr_frags)
This patch :
1) avoids calling bnx2_get_hw_tx_cons(bnapi) too many times.
2) makes bnx2_start_xmit() cache is_gso & nr_frags into sw_tx_bd descriptor.
This uses a litle bit more ram (256 longs per device on x86), but helps a lot.
3) uses a prefetch(&skb->end) to speedup dev_kfree_skb(), bringing
cache line that will be needed in skb_release_data()
result is 5 % bandwidth increase in benchmarks, involving UDP or TCP receive
& transmits, when a cpu is dedicated to ksoftirqd for bnx2.
bnx2_tx_int going from 3.33 % cpu to 0.5 % cpu in oprofile
Note : skb_dma_unmap() still very expensive but this is for another patch,
not related to bnx2 (2.9 % of cpu, while it does nothing on x86_32)

Add barrier() to bnx2_get_hw_{tx|rx}_cons() to fix this issue:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12698
This issue was reported by multiple i386 users. Without barrier(),
the compiled code looks like the following where %eax contains the
address of the tx_cons or rx_cons in the DMA status block. The
status block contents can change between the cmpb and the movzwl
instruction. The driver would crash if the value was not 0xff during
the cmpb instruction, but changed to 0xff during the movzwl
instruction.
6828: 80 38 ff cmpb $0xff,(%eax)
682b: 0f b7 10 movzwl (%eax),%edx
With the added barrier(), the compiled code now looks correct:
683d: 0f b7 10 movzwl (%eax),%edx
6840: 0f b6 c2 movzbl %dl,%eax
6843: 3d ff 00 00 00 cmp $0xff,%eax

The MSI-X handler was chosen before the call to pci_enable_msix().
If MSI-X was not available, the wrong MSI-X handler would be used in
INTA mode. This would cause a screaming interrupt problem because
INTA would not be cleared by the MSI-X handler.
Fixed by assigning MSI-X handler after pci_enable_msix() returns
successfully. Also update version to 1.9.3.

The bnx2 chips do not support per MSI vector masking. On 5706/5708, new MSI
address/data are stored only when the MSI enable bit is toggled. As a result,
SMP affinity no longer works in the latest kernel. A more serious problem is
that the driver will no longer receive interrupts when the MSI receiving CPU
goes offline.
The workaround in this patch only addresses the problem of CPU going offline.
When that happens, the driver's timer function will detect that it is making
no forward progress on pending interrupt events and will recover from it.
Eric Dumazet reported the problem.
We also found that if an interrupt is internally asserted while MSI and INTA
are disabled, the chip will end up in the same state after MSI is re-enabled.
The same workaround is needed for this problem.
