The last change in the Tx queue stop mechanism opens a window
where the Tx queue might be stopped after pending credits
returned.
Tx credits are returned via a control message generated by the HW.
It returns tx credits on demand, triggered by a completion bit
set in selective transmit packet headers.
The current code can lead to the Tx queue stopped
with all pending credits returned, and the current frame
not triggering a credit return. The Tx queue will then never be
awaken.
The driver could alternatively request a completion for packets
that stop the queue. It's however safer at this point to go back
to the pre-existing behaviour.

This patch should resolve a problem that's troubled support for
some RNDIS peripherals. It seems to have boiled down to using a
variable to establish transfer size limits before it was assigned,
which caused those devices to fallback to a default "jumbogram"
mode we don't support. Fix by assigning it earlier for RNDIS.

Problem Description and Fix
---------------------------
When a pause packet(with destination as reserved Multicast address) is
received by the EMAC hardware to control the flow of frames being
transmitted by it, it is dropped by the hardware unless the reserved
Multicast address is hashed in to the GAHT[1-4] registers. This code fix
adds the default reserved multicast address to the GAHT[1-4] registers
in the EMAC(s) present on the chip. The flow control with Pause packets
will only work if the following register bits are programmed in EMAC:
EMACx_MR1[APP] = 1
EMACx_RMR[BAE] = 1
EMACx_RMR[MAE] = 1
Behavior that may be observed in a running system
-------------------------------------------------
A host transferring data from a PPC based system may send a Pause packet
to the PPC EMAC requesting it to slow down the flow of packets. If the
default reserved multicast MAC address is not programmed into the
GAHT[1-4] registers this Pause packet will be dropped by PPC EMAC and no
Flow Control will be done.

The problem can be triggered with a high amount of host->guest traffic.
I think its the following race:
poll says netif_rx_complete
poll calls enable_cb
enable_cb opens the interrupt mask
a new packet comes, an interrupt is triggered----\
enable_cb sees that there is more work |
enable_cb disables the interrupt |
. V
. interrupt is delivered
. skb_recv_done does atomic napi test, ok
some waiting disable_cb is called->check fails->bang!
.
poll would do napi check
poll would do disable_cb
The fix is to let enable_cb not disable the interrupt again, but expect the
caller to do the cleanup if it returns false. In that case, the interrupt is
only disabled, if the napi test_set_bit was successful.

82598 can produce a formidable interrupt rate, and is largely
unusable without some form of moderation. The default behaviour
before this patch is to limit irq's to a reasonable number.
However, just like our other drivers we can reduce latency
for small packet-type traffic considerably by allowing the
irq rate to go up dynamically.
This patch introduces a simple irq moderation algorithm based
on traffic analysis. The driver will use more CPU to service
small packets quicker but will perform the same on bulk traffic
as the old code.

This code abstracts the per-queue MSI-X interrupt vector into
a queue vector layer. This abstraction is needed since there can
be many more queues than available MSI-X vectors in a machine.
The MSI-X irq vectors are remapped to a shared queue vector which
can point to several (both RX and TX) hardware queues. The NAPI
algorithm then cleans the appropriate ring/queues on interrupt
or poll.
The remapping is a delicate and complex calculation to make sure
that we're not unbalancing the irq load, and spreads the irqs
as much as possible, and may combine RX and TX flows onto the
same queue vector.
This effectively enables receive flow hashing across vectors
and helps irq load balance across CPUs.

The transmit packet descriptor consists of four 32-bit words, with word 3
upper bits overloaded depending upon the condition of its bits 3 and 4.
The driver currently duplicates all word 2 and some word 3 register bit
definitions unnecessarily and also uses a set of nested structures in its
definition of the TPD without good cause. This patch adds a lengthy
comment describing the TPD, eliminates duplicate TPD bit definitions,
and simplifies the TPD structure itself. It also expands the TSO check
to correctly handle custom checksum versus TSO processing using the revised
TPD definitions. Finally, shorten some variable names in the transmit
processing path to reduce line lengths, rename some variables to better
describe their purpose (e.g., nseg versus m), and add a comment or two
to better describe what the code is doing.

Add a shift to convert tcp_hdrlen() to dwords when we write it to the tpd.
Also, some of our bit assignments are made to the wrong tpd words. Change
