Ramkrishna Vepa 40a3a9156d Neterion: New driver: Hardware init & configuration
This patch takes care of Initialization and configuration steps of
Neterion Inc's X3100 Series 10GbE PCIe I/O Virtualized Server Adapter.
- Device Initialization.
- Verification and setting of device config parameters.
- Allocation of Tx FIFO and Rx Ring descriptors (DTR).
- APIs to get various type of hw stats
- APIs to configure RTS (Receive Traffic Steering)

- Changes in this submission -
        - Include vmalloc header without which a compilation error occured
          on sparc64, ppc64 and IA64 plaforms.
	- Fixed compilation warning in register_poll, write32_upper,
          write32_lower and the special write64 functions on ppc64.
        - General cleanup - removed redundant includes and defines.

- Changes in previous submissions -
        - Add readq/writeq implementation for the driver for 32 bit systems -
          reported by Dave Miller.
- Incorporated following comments from Ben Hutchings
        - Start a comment with "/**" to make it a kernel-doc comment.
        - Use prefix, "__vxge" in front of hw functions to make them globally
          unique.
        - Fixed unnecessary clearing members of *channel just before freeing
        - Use backslashes only for macro definitions and not in multi-line
          statements.
        - Used pci_find_capability instead of redefining it.
        - Used device and revision ids that are already in pdev - no need to
          read them again.
        - Used pci_save_state() and pci_restore_state() around resets.
        - Used udelay and mdelay directly instead of wrapper.
        - In __vxge_hw_device_register_poll() reset i to 0 after the
          microsecond delay loop to commence the millisecond delay loop.
        - Corrected spelling "sapper" - should be "swapper"
        - Remove too much vertical whitespace.
        - Replaced magic numbers with appropriate macros
- Incorporated following comments from Andi Kleen [andi@firstfloor.org]
        - Reduced the arguments in functions or refactored them into smaller
        functions.
        - Allocate page sized memories used in slow path with vmalloc.
        - Use asserts where necessary.
        - Use macros instead of magic numbers.
        - Use the pci layer code instead of defining own functions
        - Remove driver wrappers such as xge_hw_device_private_set().
        - Fixed sparse warnings.
