====================
40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2016-05-01
This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf.
The theme of this series is code reduction, with several code cleanups in
this series. Starting with Neerav's removal of the code that implemented
the HMC AQ APIs and calls, since they are now obsolete and not supported
by firmware.
Anjali changes the default of VFs to make sure they are not trusted or
privileged until its explicitly set for trust through the new NDO op
interface. Also limited the number of MAC and VLAN addresses a VF can
add if it is untrusted/privileged.
Carolyn syncs the VF code for the changes made to the PF for the RSS
hash tuple settings, which ends up cleaning up much of the existing code.
Jesse cleans up compiler warnings which were found with gcc's W=2 option.
Then removed duplicate code, especially since only one copy was actually
being used.
Jacob addresses an issue which was found when testing GCC 6's which
happens to produce new warnings when you left shift a signed value
beyond the storage sizeof the type. The converts i40e & i40evf to use
the BIT() macro more consistently.
Alex actually bucks the trend of code removal by adding support for
both drivers to use GSO_PARTIAL so that segmentation of frames with
checksums enabled in outer headers is supported. Fortunately it does
not take much to add this support!
