If we hack the virtio_net driver to always allocate full-sized (64k+)
skbuffs, the driver slows down (lguest numbers):
Time to receive 1GB (small buffers): 10.85 seconds
Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers): 24.75 seconds
Of course, large buffers use up more space in the ring, so we increase
that from 128 to 2048:
Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers, 2k ring): 16.61 seconds
If we recycle pages rather than using alloc_page/free_page:
Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers, 2k ring, recycle pages): 10.81 seconds
This demonstrates that with efficient allocation, we don't need to
have a separate "small buffer" queue.

Finally this patch lets virtio_net receive GSO packets in addition
to sending them. This can definitely be optimised for the non-GSO
case. For comparison the Xen approach stores one page in each skb
and uses subsequent skb's pages to construct an SG skb instead of
preallocating the maximum amount of pages per skb.

This patch adds some basic ethtool operations to virtio_net so
I could test SG without GSO (which was really useful because TSO
turned out to be buggy :)

With this, may drop an skb and then later in the function discover that
we could have sent it after all. Poor wee skb :)
How about the incremental patch below?
Cheers,
Mark.
Subject: [PATCH] virtio_net: Delay dropping tx skbs
Currently we drop the skb in start_xmit() if we have a
queued buffer and fail to transmit it.
However, if we delay dropping it until we've stopped the
queue and enabled the tx notification callback, then there
is a chance space might become available for it.

IDE probing code used to skip devices attached to EATA SCSI HBA
in ATA emulating mode but because of warm-plug support port I/O
resources are no longer freed if no devices are detected on a port
and the decision about the driver to use is left up to the user.
Remove no longer valid EATA SCSI HBA quirk from do_identify().

cdrom_read_capacity() will blindly return the capacity from the device
without sanity-checking it. This later causes code in fs/buffer.c to
oops.
Fix this by checking that the device is telling us sensible things.

This controller supports UltraDMA up to mode 5 but it should be clocked with
at least twice the data strobe frequency, so enable mode 5 for 100+ MHz IDECLK.

Prefix messages from IDE PCI host drivers by driver name instead of marketed
chipset name (it is still possible to exactly identify the particular chipset
basing on driver messages).
As a bonus this provides nice code savings for some drivers:
