We experimented with more descriptor buffer writebacks and found that
values larger than 8 give HW problems, but 8 is safe and gives us some
improved performance.

We keep getting requests from people that think that this might be
an exploitable hole where we would overwrite 4 bytes in the netdev
struct if the pci name would exceed 15 characters. In reality this
will never happen but we fix it anyway.

Manually resolved conflicts in drivers/net/ixgb/ixgb_main.c and
drivers/net/sky2.c related to CHECKSUM_HW/CHECKSUM_PARTIAL changes by
commit 84fa7933a3 that just happened to be
next to unrelated changes in this update.
Replace CHECKSUM_HW by CHECKSUM_PARTIAL (for outgoing packets, whose
checksum still needs to be completed) and CHECKSUM_COMPLETE (for
incoming packets, device supplied full checksum).
Patch originally from Herbert Xu, updated by myself for 2.6.18-rc3.

There were some tso bugs that only showed up with heavy load and 16kB
pages that this patch fixes by making the driver's internal use count
of descriptors match the count that it was estimating it needed using
the DESC_NEEDED macro. This bug caused NETDEV_WATCHDOG resets aka
tx timeouts.

This patch adds the wrapper function skb_is_gso which can be used instead
of directly testing skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_size. This makes things a little
nicer and allows us to change the primary key for indicating whether an skb
is GSO (if we ever want to do that).

Having separate fields in sk_buff for TSO/UFO (tso_size/ufo_size) is not
going to scale if we add any more segmentation methods (e.g., DCCP). So
let's merge them.
They were used to tell the protocol of a packet. This function has been
subsumed by the new gso_type field. This is essentially a set of netdev
feature bits (shifted by 16 bits) that are required to process a specific
skb. As such it's easy to tell whether a given device can process a GSO
skb: you just have to and the gso_type field and the netdev's features
field.
I've made gso_type a conjunction. The idea is that you have a base type
(e.g., SKB_GSO_TCPV4) that can be modified further to support new features.
For example, if we add a hardware TSO type that supports ECN, they would
declare NETIF_F_TSO | NETIF_F_TSO_ECN. All TSO packets with CWR set would
have a gso_type of SKB_GSO_TCPV4 | SKB_GSO_TCPV4_ECN while all other TSO
packets would be SKB_GSO_TCPV4. This means that only the CWR packets need
to be emulated in software.

There seemed to be another bug introduced as well as a performance hit
