The TX DMA engine issues upstream read requests when there is room in
the TX FIFO for the completion. However, the fetches for the rest of
the packet might be delayed by any back pressure. Since a flush must
wait for an EOP, the entire flush may be delayed by back pressure.
Mitigate this by disabling flow control before the flushes are
started. Since PF and VF flushes run in parallel introduce
fc_disable, a reference count of the number of flushes outstanding.
The same principle could be applied to Falcon, but that
would bring with it its own testing.

Both implementations of efx_nic_type::reconfigure_mac operation
push the multicast hash filter to the hardware. It is therefore
redundant to call efx_nic_type::push_multicast_hash as well.
efx_mcdi_mac_reconfigure() also uses this operation, but the
implementation for Siena just uses MCDI anyway. Merge that into
efx_mcdi_mac_reconfigure().

The latter is only called by the former, which is a very short
wrapper. Further, gcc 4.5 may currently wrongly warn that the
'faults' variable may be used uninitialised.

No NICs need to switch efx_mac_operations at run-time, and the MAC
operations are fairly closely bound to NIC types.
Move efx_mac_operations::reconfigure to efx_nic_type::reconfigure_mac
and efx_mac_operations::check_fault fo efx_nic_type::check_mac_fault.
Change callers to call through efx->type or directly if the NIC type
is known.
Remove efx_mac_operations::update_stats. The implementations for
Falcon used to fetch MAC statistics synchronously and this was used by
efx_register_netdev() to clear statistics after running self-tests.
However, it now only converts statistics that have already been
fetched (and that only for Falcon), and the call from
efx_register_netdev() has no effect.

Moves the Solarflare drivers into drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/ and
make the necessary Kconfig and Makefile changes.
