Ajit Khaparde dcb9b5648a be2net: Workaround to fix a bug in Rx Completion processing.
vtp bit in RX completion descriptor could be wrongly set in
some skews of BladEngine.  Ignore this  bit if vtm is not set.
Resending because the previous patch was against net-next tree.
This patch is against the net-2.6 tree.

Sathya Perla b31c50a7f9 be2net: fix some cmds to use mccq instead of mbox
All cmds issued to BE after the creation of mccq must now use the mcc-q
(and not mbox) to avoid a hw issue that results in mbox poll timeout.

Ajit Khaparde 84517482e1 be2net: Changes to support flashing of the be2 network adapter
Changes to support flashing of the be2 network adapter using the
request_firmware() & ethtool infrastructure. The trigger to flash the device
will come from ethtool utility. The driver will invoke request_firmware()
to start the flash process. The file containing the flash image is expected
to be available in /lib/firmware/

be_mbox_db_ring() has been changed to be_mbox_notify() (to be consistent with
be_mcc_notify()) and struct be_mcc_cq_entry changed to be_mcc_compl
to be consistent with rx/tx_compl.

Sathya Perla 8788fdc2a5 be2net: get rid of be_ctrl_info struct/abstraction
Currently only the be_ctrl_info struct ptr (instead of adapter) is
 passed to all the routines in be_cmds.c. Instead pass be_adapter
ptr to allow access to all its fields. Merge the contents of struct be_ctrl_info
into be_adapter. The resulting code is simpler.

Sathya Perla 5fb379ee67 be2net: Add MCC queue mechanism for BE cmds
Currenlty all cmds use the blocking MCC mbox to post cmds. An mbox cmd is protected
via a spin_lock(cmd_lock) and not spin_lock_bh() as it is undesirable
to disable BHs while a blocking mbox cmd is in progress (and take long to finish.)
This can lockup a cmd in progress in process context. Instead cmds that may be
called in BH context must use the MCC queue to post cmds. The cmd completions
are rcvd in a separate completion queue and the events are placed in the tx-event
queue.
