b3e441c6ed net: Fix new EMAC driver for NAPI changes
net: Fix new EMAC driver for NAPI changes

This fixes the new EMAC driver for the NAPI updates. The previous patch
by Roland Dreier (already applied) to do that doesn't actually work. This
applies on top of it makes it work on my test Ebony machine.

This patch depends on "net: Add __napi_sycnhronize() to sync with napi poll"

369d742def e1000e: don't poke PHY registers to retreive link status
Apparently poking the link status registers when autonegotiation
is running on the PHY might botch the PHY link on 80003es2lan
devices. While this is a very rare condition we can completely
avoid it alltogether by just using the MAC link bits to provide
the proper information to ethtool.

3f88ce495b [netdrvr] forcedeth: improved probe info; dev_printk() cleanups
main change:
* greatly improve per-NIC probe diagnostic output.  Similar to other
  net drivers, print out MAC address, PHY info, and various hardware and
  software flags that may be relevant.

other changes:
* similar to other net drivers, only print the initial version message
  when we have found at least one board.

* don't bother to print error message when pci_enable_device() fails,
  it will do so for us.

* use dev_printk() rather than printk() in nv_probe().  This gives
  use a standardized output similar to the rest of the kernel, and
  eliminates the need to manually print out PCI bus id.

* use DRV_NAME constant where appropriate

* clean struct pci_driver indentation

114342f2d3 [TG3]: Fix performance regression on 5705.
A performance regression was introduced by the following commit:

    Author: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com>
    Date:   Wed Jul 18 21:49:10 2007 -0700

    [TG3]: Fix msi issue with kexec/kdump.

In making that change, the PCI latency timer and cache line size
registers were not restored after chip reset.  On the 5705, the
latency timer gets reset to 0 during chip reset and this causes
very poor performance.

Update version to 3.84.

83f34df4e7 Add dcr_host_t.base in dcr_read()/dcr_write()
Now that all users of dcr_read()/dcr_write() add the dcr_host_t.base, we
can save them the trouble and do it in dcr_read()/dcr_write().

As some background to why we just went through all this jiggery-pokery,
benh sayeth:

 Initially the goal of the dcr_read/dcr_write routines was to operate like
 mfdcr/mtdcr which take absolute DCR numbers. The reason is that on 4xx
 hardware, indirect DCR access is a pain (goes through a table of
 instructions) and it's useful to have the compiler resolve an absolute DCR
 inline.

 We decided that wasn't worth the API bastardisation since most places
 where absolute DCR values are used are low level 4xx-only code which may
 as well continue using mfdcr/mtdcr, while the new API is designed for
 device "instances" that can exist on 4xx and Axon type platforms and may
 be located at variable DCR offsets.

dd957c57c5 net/bonding: Optionally allow ethernet slaves to keep own MAC
Update the "don't change MAC of slaves" functionality added in
previous changes to be a generic option, rather than something tied to
IB devices, as it's occasionally useful for regular ethernet devices as
well.

	Adds "fail_over_mac" option (which is automatically enabled for IB
slaves), applicable only to active-backup mode.

	Includes documentation update.

	Updates bonding driver version to 3.2.0.

d90a162a4e net/bonding: Destroy bonding master when last slave is gone
When bonding enslaves non Ethernet devices it takes pointers to functions
in the module that owns the slaves. In this case it becomes unsafe
to keep the bonding master registered after last slave was unenslaved
because we don't know if the pointers are still valid.  Destroying the bond when slave_cnt is zero
ensures that these functions be used anymore.

1053f62c24 net/bonding: Delay sending of gratuitous ARP to avoid failure
Delay sending a gratuitous_arp when LINK_STATE_LINKWATCH_PENDING bit
in dev->state field is on. This improves the chances for the arp packet to
be transmitted.

3158bf7d41 net/bonding: Handlle wrong assumptions that slave is always an Ethernet device
bonding sometimes uses Ethernet constants (such as MTU and address length) which
are not good when it enslaves non Ethernet devices (such as InfiniBand).

6b1bf09650 net/bonding: Enable IP multicast for bonding IPoIB devices
Allow to enslave devices when the bonding device is not up. Over the discussion
held at the previous post this seemed to be the most clean way to go, where it
is not expected to cause instabilities.

Normally, the bonding driver is UP before any enslavement takes place.
Once a netdevice is UP, the network stack acts to have it join some multicast groups
(eg the all-hosts 224.0.0.1). Now, since ether_setup() have set the bonding device
type to be ARPHRD_ETHER and address len to be ETHER_ALEN, the net core code
computes a wrong multicast link address. This is b/c ip_eth_mc_map() is called
where for multicast joins taking place after the enslavement another ip_xxx_mc_map()
is called (eg ip_ib_mc_map() when the bond type is ARPHRD_INFINIBAND)
