7d8eb29e6e igb: update feature flags supported in ethtool
This driver is currently using HW_CSUM which is not correct.  Update this
to use the IP_CSUM and IPV6_CSUM flags.  In addition consolidate the TSO
flag setting.

aed5dec370 igb: remove check for needing an io port
Since igb supports only pci-e nics and there is no plan to support any
legacy pci parts in the driver there isn't really much need for checking to
see if an io port is needed.

In the unlikely event that we do begin supporting legacy pci parts then we
can see about adding this code back to the driver.

This patch moves the initialization of the number of queues into

5c0999b72b igb: Replace LRO with GRO
This patch makes igb invoke the GRO hooks instead of LRO.  As
GRO has a compatible external interface to LRO this is a very
straightforward replacement.

Three things of note:

1) I've kept the LRO Kconfig option until we decide to enable
GRO across the board at which point it can also be killed.

2) The poll_controller stuff is broken in igb as it tries to do
the same work as the normal poll routine.  Since poll_controller
can be called in the middle of a poll, this can't be good.

I noticed this because poll_controller can invoke the GRO hooks
without flushing held GRO packets.

However, this should be harmless (assuming the poll_controller
bug above doesn't kill you first :) since the next ->poll will
clear the backlog.  The only time when we'll have a problem is
if we're already executing the GRO code on the same ring, but
that's no worse than what happens now.

3) I kept the ip_summed check before calling GRO so that we're
on par with previous behaviour.

4cf1653aa9 netdevice: safe convert to netdev_priv() #part-2
We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv:
1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv().
2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously
   netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv.
But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it
directly.

This patch is a safe convert for netdev->priv to netdev_priv(netdev).
Since all of the netdev->priv is only for read.
But it is too big to be sent in one mail.
I split it to 4 parts and make every part smaller than 100,000 bytes,
which is max size allowed by vger.

c54106bb38 igb: fix tx data corruption with transition to L0s on 82575
The 82575 has an issue in which the DMA will go out of sync if the link
partner goes into an L0s state.  To prevent this we set the pci-e link
partner capability bits to disable the L0s transition on the hw.

fd2ea0a79f net: Use queue aware tests throughout.
This effectively "flips the switch" by making the core networking
and multiqueue-aware drivers use the new TX multiqueue structures.

Non-multiqueue drivers need no changes.  The interfaces they use such
as netif_stop_queue() degenerate into an operation on TX queue zero.
So everything "just works" for them.

Code that really wants to do "X" to all TX queues now invokes a
routine that does so, such as netif_tx_wake_all_queues(),
netif_tx_stop_all_queues(), etc.

pktgen and netpoll required a little bit more surgery than the others.

In particular the pktgen changes, whilst functional, could be largely
improved.  The initial check in pktgen_xmit() will sometimes check the
wrong queue, which is mostly harmless.  The thing to do is probably to
invoke fill_packet() earlier.

The bulk of the netpoll changes is to make the code operate solely on
the TX queue indicated by by the SKB queue mapping.

Setting of the SKB queue mapping is entirely confined inside of
net/core/dev.c:dev_pick_tx().  If we end up needing any kind of
special semantics (drops, for example) it will be implemented here.

Finally, we now have a "real_num_tx_queues" which is where the driver
indicates how many TX queues are actually active.

With IGB changes from Jeff Kirsher.

aa20c6c6d2 igb: PCIe devices do not need to unset MANC_ARP_ENA
Users reported that ARP's were lost with igb. The problem
is fixed by not enabling this manageability configuration
bit.

None of the release_manageability code is actually needed as the
normal device reset during a shutdown returns everthing to
the right condition automatically.

9d5c824399 igb: PCI-Express 82575 Gigabit Ethernet driver
We are pleased to announce a new Gigabit Ethernet product and its
driver to the linux community. This product is the Intel(R) 82575
Gigabit Ethernet adapter family. Physical adapters will be available
to the public soon. These adapters come in 2- and 4-port versions
(copper PHY) currently. Other variants will be available later.

The 82575 chipset supports significantly different features that
warrant a new driver. The descriptor format is (just like the
ixgbe driver) different. The device can use multiple MSI-X vectors
and multiple queues for both send and receive. This allows us to
optimize some of the driver code specifically as well compared to
the e1000-supported devices.

This version of the igb driver no lnger uses fake netdevices and
incorporates napi_struct members for each ring to do the multi-
queue polling. multi-queue is enabled by default and the driver
supports NAPI mode only.

All the namespace collisions should be gone in this version too. The
register macro's have been condensed to improve readability.
