When using bnx2 in a high transmit load, bnx2_tx_int() cost is pretty high.
There are two reasons.
One is an expensive call to bnx2_get_hw_tx_cons(bnapi) for each freed skb
One is cpu stalls when accessing skb_is_gso(skb) / skb_shinfo(skb)->nr_frags
because of two cache line misses.
(One to get skb->end/head to compute skb_shinfo(skb),
one to get is_gso/nr_frags)
This patch :
1) avoids calling bnx2_get_hw_tx_cons(bnapi) too many times.
2) makes bnx2_start_xmit() cache is_gso & nr_frags into sw_tx_bd descriptor.
This uses a litle bit more ram (256 longs per device on x86), but helps a lot.
3) uses a prefetch(&skb->end) to speedup dev_kfree_skb(), bringing
cache line that will be needed in skb_release_data()
result is 5 % bandwidth increase in benchmarks, involving UDP or TCP receive
& transmits, when a cpu is dedicated to ksoftirqd for bnx2.
bnx2_tx_int going from 3.33 % cpu to 0.5 % cpu in oprofile
Note : skb_dma_unmap() still very expensive but this is for another patch,
not related to bnx2 (2.9 % of cpu, while it does nothing on x86_32)

Based on original patch by Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> and
Bastian Blank <waldi@debian.org>, with the following main changes:
Separated the mips firmware and rv2p firmware into different files
to make it easier to update them separately.
Added some code to fixup the rv2p code with run-time information
such as PAGE_SIZE.
Update version to 2.0.0.

The bnx2 chips do not support per MSI vector masking. On 5706/5708, new MSI
address/data are stored only when the MSI enable bit is toggled. As a result,
SMP affinity no longer works in the latest kernel. A more serious problem is
that the driver will no longer receive interrupts when the MSI receiving CPU
goes offline.
The workaround in this patch only addresses the problem of CPU going offline.
When that happens, the driver's timer function will detect that it is making
no forward progress on pending interrupt events and will recover from it.
Eric Dumazet reported the problem.
We also found that if an interrupt is internally asserted while MSI and INTA
are disabled, the chip will end up in the same state after MSI is re-enabled.
The same workaround is needed for this problem.

Before, the driver would not care about the return codes from pci_map_*
functions. This could be potentially dangerous if a mapping failed.
Now, we will check all pci_map_* calls. On the transmit side, we switch
to use the new function skb_dma_map(). On the receive side, we add
pci_dma_mapping_error().

The bnx2 driver stores/uses the irq value from the pci_dev internally.
But when it stores the irq value, it has been performing an
integer demotion. Because of the recent changes made to
arch/x86/kernel/io_apic.c, the new method in creating the irq value
(using build_irq_for_pci_dev()) has exposed this bug on x86 systems.
Because of this demotion when calling request_irq() from
bnx2_request_irq(), the driver would get a return code of -EINVAL.
This is because the kernel could not find the requested irq descriptor.
By storing the irq value properly, the kernel can find the correct
irq descriptor and the bnx2 driver can operate normally.

If the RTNL is held when we invoke flush_scheduled_work() we could
deadlock. One such case is linkwatch, it is a work struct which tries
to grab the RTNL semaphore.
The most common case are net driver ->stop() methods. The
simplest conversion is to instead use cancel_{delayed_}work_sync()
explicitly on the various work struct the driver uses.
This is an OK transformation because these work structs are doing
things like resetting the chip, restarting link negotiation, and so
forth. And if we're bringing down the device, we're about to turn the
chip off and reset it anways. So if we cancel a pending work event,
that's fine here.
Some drivers were working around this deadlock by using a msleep()
polling loop of some sort, and those cases are converted to instead
use cancel_{delayed_}work_sync() as well.

Packets can be left in the RX ring if the NAPI budget is reached.
This is caused by storing the latest rx index at the beginning of
bnx2_rx_int(). We may not process all the work up to this index
if the budget is reached and so some packets in the RX ring may rot
when we later check for more work using this stored rx index.
The fix is to not store this latest hw index and only store the
processed rx index. We use a new function bnx2_get_hw_rx_cons()
to fetch the latest hw rx index.
