LAN9500 supports tx checksum offload, which slightly decreases cpu
utilisation. The benefit isn't very large because we still require
the skb to be linearized, but it does save a few cycles.
This patch adds support for it, and enables it by default.

Currently, if multiple unicast addresses are programmed into a
mv643xx_eth interface, the core networking will resort to enabling
promiscuous mode on the interface, as mv643xx_eth does not implement
->set_rx_mode().
This patch switches mv643xx_eth over from ->set_multicast_list()
to ->set_rx_mode(), and implements support for secondary unicast
addresses. The hardware can handle multiple unicast addresses as
long as their first 11 nibbles are the same (i.e. are of the form
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xy where the x part is the same for all addresses), so
if that is the case, we use that mode. If it's not the case, we enable
unicast promiscuous mode in the hardware, which is slightly better than
enabling promiscuous mode for multicasts as well, which is what would
happen before.
While we are at it, change the programming sequence so that we
don't clear all filter bits first, so we don't lose all incoming
packets while the filter is being reprogrammed.

The mv643xx_eth driver uses the rdl()/wrl() macros to read and
write hardware registers. Per-port registers are accessed in the
following way:
#define PORT_STATUS(p) (0x0444 + ((p) << 10))
[...]
static inline u32 rdl(struct mv643xx_eth_private *mp, int offset)
{
return readl(mp->shared->base + offset);
}
[...]
port_status = rdl(mp, PORT_STATUS(mp->port_num));
By giving the per-port 'struct mv643xx_eth_private' its own
'void __iomem *base' pointer that points to the per-port register
area, we can get rid of both the double indirection and the << 10
that is done for every per-port register access -- this patch does
that.

When suspending the device the ring structure is freed which causes it to
loose track of the count. To resolve this we need to move the ring count
outside of the ring structure and store it in the adapter struct.
In addition to resolving the suspend/resume issue this patch also addresses
issues seen in the event of memory allocation errors causing uneven ring
sizes on multiple queues.

If segmentation offload is enabled by the host, we currently allocate
maximum sized packet buffers and pass them to the host. This uses up
20 ring entries, allowing us to supply only 20 packet buffers to the
host with a 256 entry ring. This is a huge overhead when receiving
small packets, and is most keenly felt when receiving MTU sized
packets from off-host.
The VIRTIO_NET_F_MRG_RXBUF feature flag is set by hosts which support
using receive buffers which are smaller than the maximum packet size.
In order to transfer large packets to the guest, the host merges
together multiple receive buffers to form a larger logical buffer.
The number of merged buffers is returned to the guest via a field in
the virtio_net_hdr.
Make use of this support by supplying single page receive buffers to
the host. On receive, we extract the virtio_net_hdr, copy 128 bytes of
the payload to the skb's linear data buffer and adjust the fragment
offset to point to the remaining data. This ensures proper alignment
and allows us to not use any paged data for small packets. If the
payload occupies multiple pages, we simply append those pages as
fragments and free the associated skbs.
This scheme allows us to be efficient in our use of ring entries
while still supporting large packets. Benchmarking using netperf from
an external machine to a guest over a 10Gb/s network shows a 100%
improvement from ~1Gb/s to ~2Gb/s. With a local host->guest benchmark
with GSO disabled on the host side, throughput was seen to increase
from 700Mb/s to 1.7Gb/s.
Based on a patch from Herbert Xu.

Each time we re-fill the recv queue with buffers, we allocate
one too many skbs and free it again when adding fails. We should
recycle the pages allocated in this case.
A previous version of this patch made trim_pages() trim trailing
unused pages from skbs with some paged data, but this actually
caused a barely measurable slowdown.
