Merge branch 'xen-netback'

Wei Liu says:

====================
xen-netback: switch to NAPI + kthread 1:1 model

This series implements NAPI + kthread 1:1 model for Xen netback.

This model
 - provides better scheduling fairness among vifs
 - is prerequisite for implementing multiqueue for Xen network driver

The second patch has the real meat:
 - make use of NAPI to mitigate interrupt
 - kthreads are not bound to CPUs any more, so that we can take
   advantage of backend scheduler and trust it to do the right thing

Benchmark is done on a Dell T3400 workstation with 4 cores, running 4
DomUs. Netserver runs in Dom0. DomUs do netperf to Dom0 with
following command: /root/netperf -H Dom0 -fm -l120

IRQs are distributed to 4 cores by hand in the new model, while in the
old model vifs are automatically distributed to 4 kthreads.

* New model
%Cpu0  :  0.5 us, 20.3 sy,  0.0 ni, 28.9 id,  0.0 wa,  0.0 hi, 24.4 si, 25.9 st
%Cpu1  :  0.5 us, 17.8 sy,  0.0 ni, 28.8 id,  0.0 wa,  0.0 hi, 27.7 si, 25.1 st
%Cpu2  :  0.5 us, 18.8 sy,  0.0 ni, 30.7 id,  0.0 wa,  0.0 hi, 22.9 si, 27.1 st
%Cpu3  :  0.0 us, 20.1 sy,  0.0 ni, 30.4 id,  0.0 wa,  0.0 hi, 22.7 si, 26.8 st
Throughputs: 2027.89 2025.95 2018.57 2016.23 aggregated: 8088.64

* Old model
%Cpu0  :  0.5 us, 68.8 sy,  0.0 ni, 16.1 id,  0.5 wa,  0.0 hi,  2.8 si, 11.5 st
%Cpu1  :  0.4 us, 45.1 sy,  0.0 ni, 31.1 id,  0.4 wa,  0.0 hi,  2.1 si, 20.9 st
%Cpu2  :  0.9 us, 44.8 sy,  0.0 ni, 30.9 id,  0.0 wa,  0.0 hi,  1.3 si, 22.2 st
%Cpu3  :  0.8 us, 46.4 sy,  0.0 ni, 28.3 id,  1.3 wa,  0.0 hi,  2.1 si, 21.1 st
Throughputs: 1899.14 2280.43 1963.33 1893.47 aggregated: 8036.37

We can see that the impact is mainly on CPU usage. The new model moves
processing from kthread to NAPI (software interrupt).
