[TG3]: Add recovery logic when MMIOs are re-ordered
Add recovery logic when we suspect that the system is re-ordering MMIOs. Re-ordered MMIOs to the send mailbox can cause bogus tx completions and hit BUG_ON() in the tx completion path. tg3 already has logic to handle re-ordered MMIOs by flushing the MMIOs that must be strictly ordered (such as the send mailbox). Determining when to enable the flush is currently a manual process of adding known chipsets to a list. The new code replaces the BUG_ON() in the tx completion path with the call to tg3_tx_recover(). It will set the TG3_FLAG_MBOX_WRITE_REORDER flag and reset the chip later in the workqueue to recover and start flushing MMIOs to the mailbox. A message to report the problem will be printed. We will then decide whether or not to add the host bridge to the list of chipsets that do re-ordering. We may add some additional code later to print the host bridge's ID so that the user can report it more easily. The assumption that re-ordering can only happen on x86 systems is also removed.
