We enabled write-combining for memory-mapped registers in commit
65f0b417de, but inhibited it for the
MCDI shared memory where this is not supported. However,
write-combining mappings also allow read-reordering, which may also
be a problem.
I found that when an SFC9000-family controller is connected to an
Intel 3000 chipset, and write-combining is enabled, the controller
stops responding to PCIe read requests during driver initialisation
while the driver is polling for completion of an MCDI command. This
results in an NMI and system hang. Adding read memory barriers
between all reads to the shared memory area appears to reduce but not
eliminate the probability of this.
We have not yet established whether this is a bug in our BIU or in the
PCIe bridge. For now, work around by mapping the shared memory area
separately.

Based on work by Neil Turton <nturton@solarflare.com> and
Kieran Mansley <kmansley@solarflare.com>.
The BIU has now been verified to handle 3- and 4-dword writes within a
single 128-bit register correctly. This means we can enable write-
combining and only insert write barriers between writes to distinct
registers.
This has been observed to save about 0.5 us when pushing a TX
descriptor to an empty TX queue.

We currently make no use of siena_nic_data::fw_{version,build} except
to format the firmware version for ethtool_get_drvinfo(). Since we
only read the version at start of day, this information is incorrect
after an MC firmware update. Remove the cached version information
and read it via MCDI whenever it is requested.

The mcfw *never* sends CMDDONE when rebooting. Changing this so that it always
sends CMDDONE *before* REBOOT is easy on Siena, but it's not obvious that we
could guarantee to be able to implement this on future hardware.
Given this, I'm less convinced that the protocol should be changed.
To reiterate the failure mode: The driver sees this:
issue command
receive REBOOT event
Was that reboot event sent before the command was issued, or in
response to the command? If the former then there will be a subsequent
CMDDONE event, if the latter, then there will be no CMDDONE event.
Options to resolve this are:
1. REBOOT always completes an outstanding mcdi request, and we set
the credits count to ignore a subsequent CMDDONE event with
mismatching seqno.
2. REBOOT never completes an outstanding mcdi request. If there is
no CMDDONE event then we rely on the mcdi timeout code to complete
the outstanding request, incurring a 10s delay.
I'd argue that (2) is tidier, but that incurring a 10s delay is a little
needless. Let's go with (1).

Some errors are expected, e.g. when sending new commands to an MC
running old firmware. Only the caller of efx_mcdi_rpc() can decide
what is a real error. Therefore log the error responses with
netif_dbg().

In some cases failing functions were returning 0 which is obviously wrong.
In other cases they were returning inappropriate error codes.

efx_mcdi_poll() uses positive error numbers, matching the MCDI
protocol. It must negate the result of efx_mcdi_poll_reboot() which
returns the usual negative error numbers.

The low-level MCDI code always uses 32-bit MMIO operations, and
callers must pad input and output buffers to multiples of 4 bytes.
The MCDI NVRAM functions are not doing this. Also, their buffers are
declared as variable-length arrays with no explicit maximum length.
Switch to a fixed buffer size based on the chunk size used by the
MTD driver (which is a multiple of 4).

When the interface is down and we are using polled mode for MCDI
operations, we busy-wait for completion for approximately 1 jiffy
using udelay() and then back off to schedule(). But the completion
will not wake the task, since we are using polled mode! We must use
schedule_timeout_uninterruptible() instead.

This adds support for the SFC9000 family of 10G Ethernet controllers
and LAN-on-motherboard chips, starting with the SFL9021 'Siena' and
SFC9020 'Bethpage'.
The SFC9000 family is based on the SFC4000 'Falcon' architecture, but
with some significant changes:
- Two ports are associated with two independent PCI functions
(except SFC9010)
- Integrated 10GBASE-T PHY(s) (SFL9021/9022)
- MAC, PHY and board peripherals are managed by firmware
- Driver does not require board-specific code
- Firmware supports wake-on-LAN and lights-out management through NC-SI
- IPv6 checksum offload and RSS
- Filtering by MAC address and VLAN (not included in this code)
- PCI SR-IOV (not included in this code)
