82598 cards and up support DCA, which enables the chipset to warm
up the caches for upcoming payload data. This code makes the
driver plug into the CONFIG_DCA infrastructure that was merged
earlier.

82598 can produce a formidable interrupt rate, and is largely
unusable without some form of moderation. The default behaviour
before this patch is to limit irq's to a reasonable number.
However, just like our other drivers we can reduce latency
for small packet-type traffic considerably by allowing the
irq rate to go up dynamically.
This patch introduces a simple irq moderation algorithm based
on traffic analysis. The driver will use more CPU to service
small packets quicker but will perform the same on bulk traffic
as the old code.

This code abstracts the per-queue MSI-X interrupt vector into
a queue vector layer. This abstraction is needed since there can
be many more queues than available MSI-X vectors in a machine.
The MSI-X irq vectors are remapped to a shared queue vector which
can point to several (both RX and TX) hardware queues. The NAPI
algorithm then cleans the appropriate ring/queues on interrupt
or poll.
The remapping is a delicate and complex calculation to make sure
that we're not unbalancing the irq load, and spreads the irqs
as much as possible, and may combine RX and TX flows onto the
same queue vector.
This effectively enables receive flow hashing across vectors
and helps irq load balance across CPUs.

This ports Herbert Xu's "maybe_stop_tx" code and removes the tx_lock
which is not needed.

After testing we confirmed that the irq_sem can safely be
removed from ixgbe.
Add strict state checking code to various ethtool parts to
properly protect against races between various driver reset
paths.

While cleaning up the internal API focussing on Fiber and CX4 code
we found that I had broken the copper PHY initialization code. This
patch restores the PHY-specific code. This is mostly uninteresting
since no copper PHY boards are yet available. The changes have been
tested against Fiber only as I do not even have copper PHY versions
of 82598 macs.
This change actually cleans up the API code a bit more and we
lose some initialization code. A few PHY link detection helper
lines of code have been snuck into this patch, as well as a
read flush where it was suspected that this might cause issues.

Make strings const if possible, and fix includes so forward definitions
are seen.

This patch adds support for the Intel 82598 PCI-Express 10GbE
chipset. Devices will be available on the market soon.
This version of the driver is largely the same as the last release:
* Driver uses a single RX and single TX queue, each using 1 MSI-X
irq vector.
* Driver runs in NAPI mode only
* Driver is largely multiqueue-ready (TM)
Changes since 20070803:
* removed wrappers for hardware functions
* incorporated e1000e-style HW api reorganization code
* sparse/checkpatch cleanups, namespace cleanups
* driver prints out extra debugging information at load time
identifying adapter board number, mac, phy types
* removed ixgbe_api.c, ixgbe_api.h, ixgbe_osdep.h
* driver update to 1.1.18
* removed ixgbe.txt which contained no useful info anymore
