98b9e48fca ixgbevf: Check if EOP has changed before using it
There is a chance that between the time EOP is read and the time it is
used another transmit on a different CPU could have run and completed,
thus leaving EOP in a bad state.

dc22129471 e1000e: convert to netdev features/hw_features API
Private rx_csum flags are now duplicate of netdev->features &
NETIF_F_RXCSUM.  Remove those duplicates and use the net_device_ops
ndo_set_features.  This is based on the original patch submitted by

31c15a2f24 e1000: save skb counts in TX to avoid cache misses
Virtual Machines with emulated e1000 network adapter running on Parallels'
server were seeing kernel panics due to the e1000 driver dereferencing an
unexpected NULL pointer retrieved from buffer_info->skb.

The problem has been addressed for the e1000e driver, but not for the e1000.
Since the two drivers share similar code in the affected area, a port of the
following e1000e driver commit solves the issue for the e1000 driver:

    e1000e: save skb counts in TX to avoid cache misses

    In e1000_tx_map, precompute number of segements and bytecounts which
    are derived from fields in skb; these are stored in buffer_info.  When
    cleaning tx in e1000_clean_tx_irq use the values in the associated
    buffer_info for statistics counting, this eliminates cache misses
    on skb fields.

66f32a8b97 ixgbe: Cleanup FCOE and VLAN handling in xmit_frame_ring
This change is meant to further cleanup the transmit path by streamlining
some of the VLAN and FCOE/DCB tasks in the transmit path.  In addition it
adds code for support software VLANs in the event that they are used in
conjunction with DCB and/or FCOE.

971060b106 ixgbe: replace reference to CONFIG_FCOE with IXGBE_FCOE
CONFIG_FCOE is not the correct define to check since it is possible for it
to be CONFIG_FCOE_MODULE, as such the reference to it should be replaced
with IXGBE_FCOE.

d3d0023979 ixgbe: Refactor transmit map and cleanup routines
This patch implements a partial refactor of the TX map/queue and cleanup
routines.  It merges the map and queue functionality and as a result
improves the transmit performance by avoiding unnecessary reads from memory.

5f450212f2 e1000e: convert driver to use extended descriptors
Some features currently not supported by the driver (e.g. RSS) require the
use of extended descriptors, but the driver is setup to only use legacy
descriptors in all modes except for when jumbo frames are enabled on some
parts.  Convert the driver to always use extended descriptors in order to
enable the forthcoming support of these other features.
