Sometimes it is useful to be able to change the MAC address of the
interface for netback devices. For example, when using ebtables it may
be useful to be able to distinguish traffic from different interfaces
without depending on the interface name.

An SKB paged fragment can consist of a compound page with order > 0.
However the netchannel protocol deals only in PAGE_SIZE frames.
Handle this in netbk_gop_frag_copy and xen_netbk_count_skb_slots by
iterating over the frames which make up the page.

Since Xen-4.2, hvm domains may have portions of their memory paged out. When a
foreign domain (such as dom0) attempts to map these frames, the map will
initially fail. The hypervisor returns a suitable errno, and kicks an
asynchronous page-in operation carried out by a helper. The foreign domain is
expected to retry the mapping operation until it eventually succeeds. The
foreign domain is not put to sleep because itself could be the one running the
pager assist (typical scenario for dom0).
This patch adds support for this mechanism for backend drivers using grant
mapping and copying operations. Specifically, this covers the blkback and
gntdev drivers (which map foreign grants), and the netback driver (which copies
foreign grants).
* Add a retry method for grants that fail with GNTST_eagain (i.e. because the
target foreign frame is paged out).
* Insert hooks with appropriate wrappers in the aforementioned drivers.
The retry loop is only invoked if the grant operation status is GNTST_eagain.
It guarantees to leave a new status code different from GNTST_eagain. Any other
status code results in identical code execution as before.
The retry loop performs 256 attempts with increasing time intervals through a
32 second period. It uses msleep to yield while waiting for the next retry.
V2 after feedback from David Vrabel:
* Explicit MAX_DELAY instead of wrap-around delay into zero
* Abstract GNTST_eagain check into core grant table code for netback module.
V3 after feedback from Ian Campbell:
* Add placeholder in array of grant table error descriptions for unrelated
error code we jump over.
* Eliminate single map and retry macro in favor of a generic batch flavor.
* Some renaming.
* Bury most implementation in grant_table.c, cleaner interface.
V4 rebased on top of sync of Xen grant table interface headers.

After SKB is queued into tx_queue, it will be freed if request_gop is NULL.
However, no dequeue action is called in this situation, it is likely that
tx_queue constains freed SKB. This patch should fix this issue, and it is
based on 3.5.0-rc4+.
This issue is found through code inspection, no bug is seen with it currently.

When calculating the number of slots required for a packet header, the code
was reserving too many slots if the header crossed a page boundary. Since
netbk_gop_skb copies the header to the start of the page, the count of
slots required for the header should be based solely on the header size.
This problem is easy to reproduce if a VIF is bridged to a USB 3G modem
device as the skb->data value always starts near the end of the first page.

The 'name', 'owner', and 'mod_name' members are redundant with the
identically named fields in the 'driver' sub-structure. Rather than
switching each instance to specify these fields explicitly, introduce
a macro to simplify this.
Eliminate further redundancy by allowing the drvname argument to
DEFINE_XENBUS_DRIVER() to be blank (in which case the first entry from
the ID table will be used for .driver.name).
Also eliminate the questionable xenbus_register_{back,front}end()
wrappers - their sole remaining purpose was the checking of the
'owner' field, proper setting of which shouldn't be an issue anymore
when the macro gets used.
v2: Restore DRV_NAME for the driver name in xen-pciback.

netback currently uses frag->page to store a temporary index reference while
processing incoming requests. Since frag->page is to become opaque switch
instead to using page_offset. Add a wrapper to tidy this up and propagate the
fact that the indexes are only u16 through the code (this was already true in
practice but unsigned long and in were inconsistently used as variable and
parameter types)

If a VM is saved and restored (or migrated) the netback driver will no
longer process any Tx packets from the frontend. xenvif_up() does not
schedule the processing of any pending Tx requests from the front end
because the carrier is off. Without this initial kick the frontend
just adds Tx requests to the ring without raising an event (until the
ring is full).
This was caused by 47103041e9 (net:
xen-netback: convert to hw_features) which reordered the calls to
xenvif_up() and netif_carrier_on() in xenvif_connect().

netback is the host side counterpart to the frontend driver in
drivers/net/xen-netfront.c. The PV protocol is also implemented by
frontend drivers in other OSes too, such as the BSDs and even Windows.
The patch is based on the driver from the xen.git pvops kernel tree but
has been put through the checkpatch.pl wringer plus several manual
cleanup passes and review iterations. The driver has been moved from
drivers/xen/netback to drivers/net/xen-netback.
One major change from xen.git is that the guest transmit path (i.e. what
looks like receive to netback) has been significantly reworked to remove
the dependency on the out of tree PageForeign page flag (a core kernel
patch which enables a per page destructor callback on the final
put_page). This page flag was used in order to implement a grant map
based transmit path (where guest pages are mapped directly into SKB
frags). Instead this version of netback uses grant copy operations into
regular memory belonging to the backend domain. Reinstating the grant
map functionality is something which I would like to revisit in the
future.
Note that this driver depends on 2e820f58f7 "xen/irq: implement
bind_interdomain_evtchn_to_irqhandler for backend drivers" which is in
linux next via the "xen-two" tree and is intended for the 2.6.39 merge
window:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git stable/backends
this branch has only that single commit since 2.6.38-rc2 and is safe for
cross merging into the net branch.
