bnx2x uses following formula to compute its rx_buf_sz :
dev->mtu + 2*L1_CACHE_BYTES + 14 + 8 + 8 + 2
Then core network adds NET_SKB_PAD and SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct
skb_shared_info))
Final allocated size for skb head on x86_64 (L1_CACHE_BYTES = 64,
MTU=1500) : 2112 bytes : SLUB/SLAB round this to 4096 bytes.
Since skb truesize is then bigger than SK_MEM_QUANTUM, we have lot of
false sharing because of mem_reclaim in UDP stack.
One possible way to half truesize is to reduce the need by 64 bytes
(2112 -> 2048 bytes)
Instead of allocating a full cache line at the end of packet for
alignment, we can use the fact that skb_shared_info sits at the end of
skb->head, and we can use this room, if we convert bnx2x to new
build_skb() infrastructure.
skb_shared_info will be initialized after hardware finished its
transfert, so we can eventually overwrite the final padding.
Using build_skb() also reduces cache line misses in the driver, since we
use cache hot skb instead of cold ones. Number of in-flight sk_buff
structures is lower, they are recycled while still hot.
Performance results :
(820.000 pps on a rx UDP monothread benchmark, instead of 720.000 pps)

We need propagate the DCBX results from PMF to other functions
on the same port, in order to properly update netdev structure
and allow following new ETS and PFC configurations.

There are valid configurations where Max BW is configured to zero for
some VNs.
Print the message only if debugging is enabled and do not call the
configuration "illegal".
[v2: use DP(), not BNX2X_DBG_ERR(); recommended by Eilon Greenstein.]

Uses of pr_cont should be avoided where reasonably possible
because they can be interleaved by other threads and processes.
Coalesce pr_cont uses.
Fix typos, duplicated words and spacing in DP uses caused
by split multi-line formats. Coalesce some of these
split formats. Add missing terminating newlines to DP uses.
