3025a446b6 igb: Allocate rings seperately instead of as a block
This change makes it so that the rings are allocated seperately.  As a
result we can allocate them on seperate nodes at some point in the future
if we so desire.

26b39276ca igb: remove unecessary q_vector declarations and remove itr_shift
This change removes the use of itr_shift since a mac type call can be
used just as easily to identify the only HW that needs to have the itr
shifted.

In addition it removes two unecessary declarations of a q_vector
pointer from the initialization path.

6366ad331f igb: remove use of skb_dma_map from driver
This change removes skb_dma_map/unmap calls from the igb driver due to the
fact that the call is incompatible with iommu enabled kernels.  In order to
prevent warnings about using the wrong unmap call I have added a

region is a page or a buffer.

8c0ab70ab9 igb: Implement reading of reg RQDPC (Receive Queue Drop Packet Count)
Based on the previous patches from Jesper Dangaard Brouer <hawk@comx.dk>

Implement reading the per queue drop stats register
RQDPC (Receive Queue Drop Packet Count).  It counts the number of
packets dropped by a queue due to lack of descriptors available.

Notice RQDPC (Receive Queue Drop Packet Count) stats only gets
incremented, if the DROP_EN bit it set (in the SRRCTL register
for that queue).  If DROP_EN bit is NOT set, then the some what
equivalent count is stored in RNBC (not per queue basis).

The RQDPC register is only 12 bit, thus the precision might
suffer due to overrun in-netween the watchdog polling interval.

hardware limitations it is not possible to verify reliably which
packet was time stamped when multiple were pending for sending; this
could be solved by only allowing one packet marked for hardware time
stamping into the queue (not implemented yet).

RX time stamping relies on the flag in the packet descriptor which
marks packets that were time stamped. In "all packet" mode this flag
is not set. TODO: also support that mode (even though it'll suffer

bbd98fe48a igb: Fix DCA errors and do not use context index for 82576
82576 was being incorrectly flagged as needing a context index.  It does not as
each ring has it's own table of 2 contexts.

Driver was registering after registering the driver instead of the other way around.

5c0999b72b igb: Replace LRO with GRO
This patch makes igb invoke the GRO hooks instead of LRO.  As
GRO has a compatible external interface to LRO this is a very
straightforward replacement.

Three things of note:

1) I've kept the LRO Kconfig option until we decide to enable
GRO across the board at which point it can also be killed.

2) The poll_controller stuff is broken in igb as it tries to do
the same work as the normal poll routine.  Since poll_controller
can be called in the middle of a poll, this can't be good.

I noticed this because poll_controller can invoke the GRO hooks
without flushing held GRO packets.

However, this should be harmless (assuming the poll_controller
bug above doesn't kill you first :) since the next ->poll will
clear the backlog.  The only time when we'll have a problem is
if we're already executing the GRO code on the same ring, but
that's no worse than what happens now.

3) I kept the ip_summed check before calling GRO so that we're
on par with previous behaviour.

26bc19ecf6 igb: re-order queues to support cleaner use of ivar on 82576
The 82576 adapter orders the queues in pairs when virtualization is in use.
The queue ordering previously conflicted with the ordering when sr-iov was
enabled.  This new ordering allows a PF to allocate 2 queues without using
any VF resources.

0e014cb162 igb: defeature tx head writeback
This patch removes tx head writeback as it was found to not provide a
significant improvement in tx performance and on some systems has been seen
to cause a performance degredation due to partial cache line writes.
