Under rare conditions, the MAC might hang while generating a pause frame.
This patch fine tunes the MAC settings to avoid the issue, allows for
periodic MAC state check, and triggers a recovery if hung.
Also fix one MAC statistics counter for the rev board T3B2.

Rather than a workqueue and a per-board mutex to control PHY,
use a tasklet and spinlock. Tasklet is lower overhead and works
just as well for this.

During testing of bcm43xx interference mitigation, two problems were
discovered:
(1) When the MANUALWLAN mode was set, routines _stack_save and _stack_restore
generated assertions that were traced to saving ILT registers with addresses
> 0xFFF. This problem was fixed by adding one bit to the field used for
the offset, and subtracting one bit from the space used for the id.
(2) In MANUALWLAN mode, the IRQ XMIT errors are generated. The cause of these
errors has not yet been located. Any suggestions on debugging this problem
would be greatly appreciated.

This patch fixes the poll routine for the natsemi driver so that if the
driver detects an RX state machine lockup then no interrupts will be
lost while the driver recovers from that.

The interrupt status register for the natsemi chips is clear on read and
was read unconditionally from both the interrupt and from the NAPI poll
routine, meaning that if the interrupt service routine was called (for
example, due to a shared interrupt) while a NAPI poll was scheduled
interrupts could be missed. This patch fixes that by ensuring that the
interrupt status register is only read by the interrupt handler when
interrupts are enabled from the chip.
It also reverts a workaround for this problem from the netpoll hook and
improves the trace for interrupt events.
Thanks to Sergei Shtylyov <sshtylyov@ru.mvista.com> for spotting the
issue, Mark Huth <mhuth@mvista.com> for a simpler method and Simon
Blake <simon@citylink.co.nz> for testing resources.

The natsemi drivers include functions for enabling and disabling
interrupts from the chip but these are not used in all code paths. This
patch changes the code paths that touch the interrupt enable register to
use the functions. In all cases this adds an extra PCI read to post the
operation but since none of these are in fast paths this shouldn't be
too much of a problem.

When bonding does fail over it calls set_mac_address. When this happens
as the result of another port going down, the phy_mutex that is common to
both ports is held, so it deadlocks. Setting the address doesn't need to do
anything that needs the phy_mutex, it already has the RTNL to protect against
other admin actions.
This change just disables the receiver to avoid any hardware confusion
while address is changing.

We were using the platform_device.id field to identify which ethernet
port is used for mv643xx_eth device. This is not generally correct.
It will be incorrect, for example, if a hardware platform uses a single
port but not the first port. Here, we add an explicit port_number field
to struct mv643xx_eth_platform_data.
This makes the mv643xx_eth_platform_data structure required, but that

enabling interrupts which nobody asks it to do (that has been fixed recently in
a number of drivers) and one unusual, with poll_controller() method possibly
causing loss of interrupts due to the interrupt status register being cleared
by a simple read and the interrpupt handler simply storing it, not accumulating.

In active-backup mode, the current bonding code duplicates IGMP
traffic to all slaves, so that switches are up to date in case of a
failover from an active to a backup interface. If bonding then fails
back to the original active interface, it is likely that the "active
slave" switch's IGMP forwarding for the port will be out of date until
some event occurs to refresh the switch (e.g., a membership query).
This patch alters the behavior of bonding to no longer flood
IGMP to all ports, and to issue IGMP JOINs to the newly active port at
the time of a failover. This insures that switches are kept up to date
for all cases.
"GOELLESCH Niels" <niels.goellesch@eurocontrol.int> originally
reported this problem, and included a patch. His original patch was
modified by Jay Vosburgh to additionally remove the existing IGMP flood
behavior, use RCU, streamline code paths, fix trailing white space, and
adjust for style.
