Jesse Brandeburg c44ade9ef8 ixgbe: update to latest common code module
This is a massive update that includes infrastructure for further patches
where we will add support for more phy types and eeprom types.

This code is shared as much as possible with other drivers, so the code may
seem a little obtuse at times but wherever possible we keep to the linux
style and methods.

most of the time we only need 1500 bytes for a packet which means
we don't need a whole 4k page for each packet.  Share the allocation
by using a reference count to the page and giving half to two

David S. Miller fd2ea0a79f net: Use queue aware tests throughout.
This effectively "flips the switch" by making the core networking
and multiqueue-aware drivers use the new TX multiqueue structures.

Non-multiqueue drivers need no changes.  The interfaces they use such
as netif_stop_queue() degenerate into an operation on TX queue zero.
So everything "just works" for them.

Code that really wants to do "X" to all TX queues now invokes a
routine that does so, such as netif_tx_wake_all_queues(),
netif_tx_stop_all_queues(), etc.

pktgen and netpoll required a little bit more surgery than the others.

In particular the pktgen changes, whilst functional, could be largely
improved.  The initial check in pktgen_xmit() will sometimes check the
wrong queue, which is mostly harmless.  The thing to do is probably to
invoke fill_packet() earlier.

The bulk of the netpoll changes is to make the code operate solely on
the TX queue indicated by by the SKB queue mapping.

Setting of the SKB queue mapping is entirely confined inside of
net/core/dev.c:dev_pick_tx().  If we end up needing any kind of
special semantics (drops, for example) it will be implemented here.

Finally, we now have a "real_num_tx_queues" which is where the driver
indicates how many TX queues are actually active.

With IGB changes from Jeff Kirsher.

Ayyappan Veeraiyan f494e8faa7 ixgbe: Introduce adaptive interrupt moderation
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.
