This change is meant to improve performance on systems that do not require
the DMA unmap calls.  On those systems we do not need to make use of the
unmap address for Tx or the unmap length so we can drop both thereby
reducing the size of the Tx buffer info structure.

In addition I have changed the logic to check for unmap length instead of
unmap address when checking to see if a buffer needs to be unmapped from
DMA use.  The reasons for this change is that on some platforms it is
possible to receive a valid DMA address of 0 from an IOMMU.

Instead of storing the RSS key as a character array we can simplify the
configuration by making it a u32 array.  This allows us to just write one
value per register without any unnecessary operations to construct the
value.

This change will produce the same exact key, the only difference is that I
translated the u8 array to a u32 array which will be correctly ordered on
writes to hardware by the cpu_to_le32 operations that are built into the
writel calls.

This patch cleans up our RSS indirection table configuration so that we
generate the same table regardless of CPU endianness.  In addition it
changes the table setup so that instead of doing a modulo based setup it is
instead a divisor based setup.  The advantage to this is that we should be
able to take the Rx hash and compute the Rx queue with very little CPU
overhead if needed.

Huawei use subclass and protocol to identify vendor specific
functions, so adding a new vendor rule for this combination.

The Pantech devices UML290 (106c:3718) and P4200 (106c:3721) use
the same subclass to identify the QMI/wwan function.  Replace the
existing device specific UML290 entries with generic vendor matching,
adding support for the Pantech P4200.

The ZTE MF683 has 6 vendor specific interfaces, all using
ff/ff/ff for cls/sub/prot.  Adding a match on interface #5 which
is a QMI/wwan interface.

Add rtnl_link_ops to IPoIB, with the first usage being child device
create/delete through them. Childs devices are now either legacy ones,
created/deleted through the ipoib sysfs entries, or RTNL ones.

Adding support for RTNL childs involved refactoring of ipoib_vlan_add
which is now used by both the sysfs and the link_ops code.

Also, added ndo_uninit entry to support calling unregister_netdevice_queue
from the rtnl dellink entry. This required removal of calls to
ipoib_dev_cleanup from the driver in flows which use unregister_netdevice,
since the networking core will invoke ipoib_uninit which does exactly that.

The r8169 driver currently limits the DMA burst for TX to 1024 bytes. I have
a box where this prevents the interface from using the gigabit line to its full
potential. This patch solves the problem by setting TX_DMA_BURST to unlimited.

The box has an ASRock B75M motherboard with on-board RTL8168evl/8111evl
(XID 0c900880). TSO is enabled.

I used netperf (TCP_STREAM test) to measure the dependency of TX throughput
on MTU. I did it for three different values of TX_DMA_BURST ('5'=512, '6'=1024,
'7'=unlimited). This chart shows the results:

Interesting points:
 - With the current DMA burst limit (1024):
   - at the default MTU=1500 I get only 842 Mbit/s.
   - when going from small MTU, the performance rises monotonically with
     increasing MTU only up to a peak at MTU=1076 (908 MBit/s). Then there's
     a sudden drop to 762 MBit/s from which the throughput rises monotonically
     again with further MTU increases.
 - With a smaller DMA burst limit (512):
   - there's a similar peak at MTU=1076 and another one at MTU=564.
 - With unlimited DMA burst:
   - at the default MTU=1500 I get nice 940 Mbit/s.
   - the throughput rises monotonically with increasing MTU with no strange
     peaks.

Notice that the peaks occur at MTU sizes that are multiples of the DMA burst
limit plus 52. Why 52? Because:
  20 (IP header) + 20 (TCP header) + 12 (TCP options) = 52

The Realtek-provided r8168 driver (v8.032.00) uses unlimited TX DMA burst too,
except for CFG_METHOD_1 where the TX DMA burst is set to 512 bytes.
CFG_METHOD_1 appears to be the oldest MAC version of "RTL8168B/8111B",
i.e. RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_11 in r8169. Not sure if this MAC version really needs
the smaller burst limit, or if any other versions have similar requirements.
