1) Avoid dirtying neighbour's confirmed field.

  TCP workloads hits this cache line for each incoming ACK.
  Lets write n->confirmed only if there is a jiffie change.

2) Optimize neigh_hh_output() for the common Ethernet case, were
   hh_len is less than 16 bytes. Replace the memcpy() call
   by two inlined 64bit load/stores on x86_64.

While playing with CoDel and ECN marking, I discovered a
non optimal behavior of receiver of CE (Congestion Encountered)
segments.

In pathological cases, sender has reduced its cwnd to low values,
and receiver delays its ACK (by 40 ms).

While RFC 3168 6.1.3 (The TCP Receiver) doesn't explicitly recommend
to send immediate ACKS, we believe its better to not delay ACKS, because
a CE segment should give same signal than a dropped segment, and its
quite important to reduce RTT to give ECE/CWR signals as fast as
possible.

Note we already call tcp_enter_quickack_mode() from TCP_ECN_check_ce()
if we receive a retransmit, for the same reason.

While doing TCP ECN tests, I discovered GRO was reordering packets if it
receives one packet with CE set, while previous packets in same NAPI run
have ECT(0) for the same flow :

09:25:25.857620 IP (tos 0x2,ECT(0), ttl 64, id 27893, offset 0, flags
[DF], proto TCP (6), length 4396)
    172.30.42.19.54550 > 172.30.42.13.44139: Flags [.], seq
233801:238145, ack 1, win 115, options [nop,nop,TS val 3397779 ecr
1990627], length 4344

09:25:25.857626 IP (tos 0x3,CE, ttl 64, id 27892, offset 0, flags [DF],
proto TCP (6), length 1500)
    172.30.42.19.54550 > 172.30.42.13.44139: Flags [.], seq
232353:233801, ack 1, win 115, options [nop,nop,TS val 3397779 ecr
1990627], length 1448

09:25:25.857638 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 34581, offset 0, flags [DF],
proto TCP (6), length 64)
    172.30.42.13.44139 > 172.30.42.19.54550: Flags [.], cksum 0xac8f
(incorrect -> 0xca69), ack 232353, win 1271, options [nop,nop,TS val
1990627 ecr 3397779,nop,nop,sack 1 {233801:238145}], length 0

We have two problems here :

1) GRO reorders packets

  If NIC gave packet1, then packet2, which happen to be from "different
flows"  GRO feeds stack with packet2, then packet1. I have yet to
understand how to solve this problem.

2) GRO is not ECN friendly

Delivering packets out of order makes TCP stack not as fast as it could
be.

In this patch I suggest we make the tos test not part of the 'same_flow'
determination, but part of the 'should flush' logic

On an OLPC XO-1.5 we have seen the following situation:
 - the system starts going into suspend
 - no wake params are set, so the mmc layer removes the card
 - during remove, we send a command to the card
 - that command fails, causing if_sdio's reset method to try and remove
   the mmc card in attempt to reset it
 - the mmc layer is not happy about being asked to remove a card that
   it is already removing, and the kernel crashes

While the MMC layer could possibly be taught to behave better here,
it also seems sensible for libertas not to try and reset a card if
we're in the process of removing it anyway.

Currently the only way for wireless drivers to tell whether or not OFDM
is allowed on the current channel is to check the regulatory
information. However, this requires hodling cfg80211_mutex, which is not
visible to the drivers.

Other regulatory restrictions are provided as flags in the channel
definition, so let's do similarly with OFDM. This patch adds a new flag,
IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_OFDM, to tell drivers that OFDM on a channel is not
allowed. This flag is set on any channels for which regulatory indicates
that OFDM is prohibited.
