Recycling turns out to be a bad idea! For most use cases, the
packet can not be reused: TCP packets are cloned. Even for the ideal
case of forwarding, it hurts performance because of CPU ping/pong.
On a multi-core system forwarding of 64 byte packets is worse
much worse: recycling = 24% forwarded vs no recycling = 42% forwarded

Don't reference the list element in hardware transmit ring on transmit
completion. The list element is updated by hardware, therefore
it causes a cache miss. Do book keeping in software structure.

This patch supersedes my previous patch "sky2: Avoid transmitting
during sky2_restart".
I have reworked the patch to avoid crashes during both sky2_restart()
and sky2_set_ringparam().
Without this patch, the sky2 driver can be crashed by doing:
# pktgen eth1 & (transmit many packets on eth1)
# ethtool -G eth1 tx 510
I am aware you object to storing extra state, but I can't see a way
around this. Without remembering that we're restarting,
netif_wake_queue() is called in the ISR from sky2_tx_complete(), and
netif_tx_lock() is used in sky2_tx_done(). If anybody can see a way
around this, please let me know.

The Yukon FE chip has a ram buffer therefore it needs the alignment
restriction and hang check workarounds.
Therefore:
* Autodetect the prescence/absence of ram buffer
* Rename the flag value to reflect this
* Use it consistently (ie don't reread register)

This patch might fix problems with 4G or more of memory.
It stops the driver from doing a small optimization for Tx and Rx,

The PCI AER support may not work for a couple of reasons.
It may not be configured into the kernel or there may be a BIOS
bug that prevents MMCONFIG from working. If MMCONFIG doesn't work
then the PCI registers that control AER will not be accessible via
pci_read_config functions; luckly there is another window to access
PCI space in the device, so use that.

Several devices have multiple independant RX queues per net
device, and some have a single interrupt doorbell for several
queues.
In either case, it's easier to support layouts like that if the
structure representing the poll is independant from the net
device itself.
The signature of the ->poll() call back goes from:
int foo_poll(struct net_device *dev, int *budget)
to
int foo_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget)
The caller is returned the number of RX packets processed (or
the number of "NAPI credits" consumed if you want to get
abstract). The callee no longer messes around bumping
dev->quota, *budget, etc. because that is all handled in the
caller upon return.
The napi_struct is to be embedded in the device driver private data
structures.
Furthermore, it is the driver's responsibility to disable all NAPI
instances in it's ->stop() device close handler. Since the
napi_struct is privatized into the driver's private data structures,
only the driver knows how to get at all of the napi_struct instances
it may have per-device.
With lots of help and suggestions from Rusty Russell, Roland Dreier,
Michael Chan, Jeff Garzik, and Jamal Hadi Salim.

Joseph Fannin, Scott Wood, Hans J. Koch, and Michael Chan.

The Yukon EC Ultra chips have transmit settings for store and
forward and PCI buffering. By setting these appropriately, normal
performance goes from 750Mbytes/sec to 940Mbytes/sec (non-jumbo).
It is also possible to do Jumbo mode, but it means turning off
TSO and checksum offload so the performance gets worse. There isn't
enough buffering for checksum offload to work.
