This howto made sense in the 1990s when users had to manually configure
ISA cards with jumpers or vendor utilities, but with the implementation
of PCI it became increasingly less and less relevant, to the point where
it has been well over a decade since I last updated it. And there is
no value in anyone else taking over updating it either.
However the references to it continue to spread as boiler plate text
from one Kconfig file into the next. We are not doing end users any
favours by pointing them at this old document, so lets kill it with
fire, once and for all, to hopefully stop any further spread.
No code is changed in this commit, just Kconfig help text.

If a remote machine crashes while there are pending transmit buffers, the
sunvnet driver reallocates the ring descriptors giving us enries that have
state VIO_DESC_FREE but also an allocated skb. This results in a BUG_ON()
call when the remote reboots and we reach that point in the ring.
This patch:
1) clears pending tx packets in the ring on port reset
2) changes a BUG_ON() to a pr_warn() when a remote host has given us an invalid
descriptor state
3) collapses multiple active buffer frees in a ring to a single message per
ring and adds the device name and remote MAC address
This fixes the particular problem of not cleaning up pending buffers on a
reset, but also prevents us from crashing if the remote handles descriptors
out of order or sets an unexpected state for a descriptor.

When vnet_start_xmit() is concurrent with vnet_ack(), we may
have a race that looks like:
thread 1 thread 2
vnet_start_xmit vnet_event_napi -> vnet_rx
__vnet_tx_trigger for some desc X
at this point dr->prod == X
peer sends back a stopped ack for X
we process X, but X == dr->prod
so we bail out in vnet_ack with
!idx_is_pending
update dr->prod
As a result of the fact that we never processed the stopped ack for X,
the Tx path is led to incorrectly believe that the peer is still
"started" and reading, but the peer has stopped reading, which will
ultimately end in flow-control assertions.
The fix is to synchronize the above 2 paths on the netif_tx_lock.

vio_dring_avail() will allow use of every dring entry, but when the last
entry is allocated then dr->prod == dr->cons which is indistinguishable from
the ring empty condition. This causes the next allocation to reuse an entry.
When this happens in sunvdc, the server side vds driver begins nack'ing the
messages and ends up resetting the ldc channel. This problem does not effect
sunvnet since it checks for < 2.
The fix here is to just never allocate the very last dring slot so that full
and empty are not the same condition. The request start path was changed to
check for the ring being full a bit earlier, and to stop the blk_queue if
there is no space left. The blk_queue will be restarted once the ring is
only half full again. The number of ring entries was increased to 512 which
matches the sunvnet and Solaris vdc drivers, and greatly reduces the
frequency of hitting the ring full condition and the associated blk_queue
stop/starting. The checks in sunvent were adjusted to account for
vio_dring_avail() returning 1 less.
