Under most circumstances, the bitmap allocator does not allocate the
same full 24-bit QP number immediately after a QP is destroyed.
This works by using the upper bits of a 24-bit QP number, beyond the
number of QPs that are actually available in the low level driver.
For example, say that the HCA is willing to allocate a maximum of 64K
qps. We use the bits 23..16 as a "counter" which is incremented by 1
at each allocation so that even if the same physical QP is
re-allocated, it will not receive the same 24-bit QP number.
However, we have seen the following scenario:
1. Allocate, say, 255 QPs in succession. This will cause a wrap of the "counter".
2. Destroy the first QP allocated, then allocate a new QP. The new QP,
because of the counter wraparound, will get the same FULL QP number as
the QP just destroyed!
This is a problem because packets in transit can be erroneously
delivered to the new QP when they were meant for the old (destroyed)
QP, because the full QP number of the new QP is identical to the
destroyed QP. (The "counter" mechanism is meant to prevent this by
having the full 24-bit QP numbers differ even if the physical QP on
the HCA is the same. As we see above, however, this mechanism does
not always work).
The best fix for this problem is to allocate QPs in round-robin mode,
so that the physical QP numbers are not immediately re-used.

This patch adds a 64-bit flags2 features member to struct mlx4_dev to
export further features of the hardware. The original flags field
tracks features whose support bits are advertised by the firmware in
offsets 0x40 and 0x44 of the query device capabilities command.
flags2 will track features whose support bits are scattered at various
offsets.
RSS support is the first feature to be exported through flags2. RSS
capabilities are located at offset 0x2e. The size of the RSS

Bug: The VLAN bit of the MAC RX Status Word is unreliable in several older
supported chips. Sometimes the VLAN bit is not set for valid VLAN packets
and also sometimes the VLAN bit is set for non-VLAN packets that came after
a VLAN packet. This results in a receive length error when VLAN hardware
tagging is enabled.
Fix: Variation on original fix proposed by Mirko.
The VLAN information is decoded in the status loop, and can be
applied to the received SKB there. This eliminates the need for the
separate tag field in the interface data structure. The tag has to
be copied and cleared if packet is copied. This version checked out
with vlan and normal traffic.
Note: vlan_tx_tag_present should be renamed vlan_tag_present, but that
is outside scope of this.

The driver calls cxgb_vlan_mode() from init_one(). This calls into
synchronize_rx(), which locks all the q locks, but the q locks are not
initialized until cxgb_up() -> setup_sge_qsets(). So move the call to
cxgb_vlan_mode() into cxgb_up(), after the call to setup_sge_qsets().
We also move the body of these functions up higher to avoid having to
a forward declaration.
This was found because of the lockdep warning:

With the support to bounce buffer added, the skb is coming as nonlinear in the
case of non-DDPed data frames for FCoE, which is mostly ok as the FCoE stack
would take care of that. However, for target mode, we have to set the FC CRC

The dl2k driver's rio_ioctl call has a few issues:
- No permissions checking
- Implements SIOCGMIIREG and SIOCGMIIREG using the SIOCDEVPRIVATE numbers
- Has a few ioctls that may have been used for debugging at one point
but have no place in the kernel proper.
This patch removes all but the MII ioctls, renumbers them to use the
standard ones, and adds the proper permission check for SIOCSMIIREG.
We can also get rid of the dl2k-specific struct mii_data in favor of
the generic struct mii_ioctl_data.
Since we have the phyid on hand, we can add the SIOCGMIIPHY ioctl too.
Most of the MII code for the driver could probably be converted to use
the generic MII library but I don't have a device to test the results.

Based on the original patch from Ying Cai <ycai@google.com>
This change ensures that the itr/itr_setting adjustment logic is used,
even for the default/compiled-in value.
Context:
When we changed the default InterruptThrottleRate value from default
(3 = dynamic mode) to 8000 for example, only adapter->itr_setting
(which controls interrupt coalescing mode) was set to 8000, but
adapter->itr (which controls the value set in NIC register) was not
updated accordingly. So from ethtool, it seemed the interrupt
throttling is enabled at 8000 intr/s, but the NIC actually was
running in dynamic mode which has lower CPU efficiency especially
when throughput is not high.

Newer devices have 20 (5000 series) or 30 (6000 series)
hardware queues, rather than the 16 that 4965 had. This
was added to the driver a long time ago, but improperly:
the queue registers for the higher queues aren't just
continuations of the registers for the first 16 queues,
they are in other places. Therefore, the hardware would
lock up when trying to activate queue 16 or above and
the device would have to be restarted.
Thanks goes to Emmanuel who identified this and told me
how the queue programming should be done.
