Simplify the code. Attach hwmon sysfs attributes to hwmon device
instead of pci device. Avoid race conditions caused by attributes
being created after registration and provide mandatory 'name'
attribute by using new hwmon API.
Other cleanup:
Instead of allocating memory for hwmon attributes, move attributes
and all other hwmon related data into struct hwmon_buff and allocate
the entire structure using devm_kzalloc.
Check return value from calls to igb_add_hwmon_attr() one by one instead

This patch adds the ethtool callbacks necessary to change the RETA
indirection table from userspace.
In order to achieve this, we add the indirection table field (rss_indir_tbl)
in the board specific data structure (struct igb_adapter) to preserve the
values across hardware resets.
The indirection table must be initialized with default values in the
following cases:
* at module init time
* when the number of RX queues changes.
For this reason we add a new field (rss_indir_tbl_init) in igb_adapter
that keeps track of the number of RX queues. Whenever the number of RX
queues changes, the rss_indir_tbl is modified and initialized with default
values. The rss_indir_tbl_init is updated accordingly.

An IGB conflict existed because in 'net' the build_skb() support was

This patch actually reverts:
igb: Support using build_skb in the case that jumbo frames are disabled
The reason for reverting this patch is that it can lead to data corruption.
The following flow was pointed out by Ben Hutchings:
1. skb is forwarded to another device
2. Packet headers are modified and it's put into a queue
3. Second packet is received into the other half of this page
4. Page cannot be reused, so is DMA-unmapped
5. The DMA mapping was non-coherent, so unmap copies or invalidates
cache
The headers added in step 2 get trashed in step 5.

After reviewing the igb and ixgbe code I realized there are a few issues in
how the code is structured. Specifically we are not checking the size of the
buffers being used in transmits and we are not using the same value to
determine when to stop or start a Tx queue. As such the code is prone to be
buggy.
This patch makes it so that we have one value DESC_NEEDED that we will use for
starting and stopping the queue. In addition we will check the size of
buffers being used when setting up a transmit so as to avoid a possible buffer
overrun if we were to receive a frame with a block of data larger than 32K in
skb->data.

Add a check against possible Rx timestamp freezing in the hardware via
watchdog mechanism. This situation can occur when an Rx timestamp has been
latched, but the packet has been dropped because the Rx ring is full.
Whenever a packet comes in that should be timestamped, the Rx timestamp
gets latched into the hardware registers and we will store the jiffy value
in the rx_ring. The watchdog will keep track of his own jiffy timer
whenever there is no valid timestamp in the registers.
If the watchdog detects a valid timestamp in the registers, meaning that no
Rx packet has consumed it yet, it will check which time is most recent: the
last time in the watchdog or any time in the rx_rings. If the most recent
"event" was more than 5 seconds ago, it will flush the Rx timestamp and
print a warning message to the syslog.

- Remove separate boolean options for PTP clock drivers that are built

subsystem is wrongly forced to be built-in.)

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.
