This patch configures HW to strip 802.1Q header if found in a
receiving packet. The stripped VLAN ID and TCI information is
passed on to software via CQE_RX. Also sets netdev's 'vlan_features'
so that other HW offload features can be used for tagged packets.
This offload feature can be enabled or disabled via ethtool.
Network stack normally ignores RPS for 802.1Q packets and hence low
throughput. With this offload enabled throughput for tagged packets
will be almost same as normal packets.
Note: This patch doesn't enable HW VLAN insertion for transmit packets.

Suppressing standard alloc_pages() warnings. Some kernel configs limit
alloc size and the network driver may fail. Do not drop a kernel
warning in this case, instead just drop a oneliner that the network
driver could not be loaded since the buffer could not be allocated.

Switching back to LDD transactions from LDWB.
While transmitting packets out with LDWB transactions
data integrity issues are seen very frequently.

This patch adds support for the Cavium ThunderX network controller.
The driver is on the pci bus and thus requires the Thunder PCIe host
