9806307a1c ixgbe: DCB, fix TX hang occurring in stress condition with PFC
The DCB credits refill quantum _must_ be greater than half the max
packet size. This is needed to guarantee that TX DMA operations
are not attempted during a pause state. Additionally, the min IFG
must be set correctly for DCB mode. If a DMA operation is
requested unexpectedly during the pause state the HW data
store may be corrupted leading to a DMA hang.  The DMA hang
requires a reset to correct. This fixes the HW configuration
to avoid this condition.

235ea828a1 ixgbe: Add DCB for 82599, remove BCN support
This patch adds the DCB (Data Center Bridging) support for 82599 hardware.
This is similar to how the 82598 DCB code works.

This patch also removes the BCN (Backwards Congestion Notification) netlink
configuration code from the driver.  BCN was a pre-standard congestion
notification framework, and was not what the IEEE body decided upon for
standard congestion management. QCN (802.1Qau), Quantized Congestion
Notification is the accepted standard, which is not supported by 82599,
hence we remove the support altogether.

859ee3c438 DCB: Add support for DCB BCN
Adds an interface to configure the Backward Congestion Notification
(BCN) feature.  In a BCN capabale network, congestion notifications
from congested points out in the network can cause the end station
limit the rate of a given traffic flow.

2f90b8657e ixgbe: this patch adds support for DCB to the kernel and ixgbe driver
This adds support for Data Center Bridging (DCB) features in the ixgbe
driver and adds an rtnetlink interface for configuring DCB to the
kernel.  The DCB feature support included are Priority Grouping (PG) -
which allows bandwidth guarantees to be allocated to groups to traffic
based on the 802.1q priority, and Priority Based Flow Control (PFC) -
which introduces a new MAC control PAUSE frame which works at
granularity of the 802.1p priority instead of the link (IEEE 802.3x).
