Currenlty multicast_set and promiscuous_config cmds -- that may be called in BH context --
use the blocking MCC mbox to post cmds.
An mbox cmd is protected via a spin_lock(cmd_lock) and not spin_lock_bh() as it is undesirable
to disable BHs while a blocking mbox cmd is in progress (and take long to finish.)
This can lockup a cmd in progress in process context.
So, these two cmds in BH context must use the MCC queue to post cmds.

Currenlty all cmds use the blocking MCC mbox to post cmds. An mbox cmd is protected
via a spin_lock(cmd_lock) and not spin_lock_bh() as it is undesirable
to disable BHs while a blocking mbox cmd is in progress (and take long to finish.)
This can lockup a cmd in progress in process context. Instead cmds that may be
called in BH context must use the MCC queue to post cmds. The cmd completions
are rcvd in a separate completion queue and the events are placed in the tx-event
queue.

This driver does not indicate support for frag lists.
Furthermore, even if it did, the code is walking the frag
lists incorrectly. The idiom is:
for (iter = skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list; iter; iter = iter->next)
but it's doing:
for (iter = skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list; iter;
iter = skb_shinfo(iter)->frag_list)
which would never work. And this proves that this driver never
saw an SKB with active frag lists.
So just remove the code altogether and the driver TX path becomes
much simpler.

Followup of commits 9d21493b4b
and 08baf56108
(net: tx scalability works : trans_start)
(net: txq_trans_update() helper)
Now that core network takes care of trans_start updates, dont do it
in drivers themselves, if possible. Multi queue drivers can
avoid one cache miss (on dev->trans_start) in their start_xmit()
handler.
Exceptions are NETIF_F_LLTX drivers (vxge & tehuti)

This is the second go through of the old DMA_nBIT_MASK macro,and there're not
so many of them left,so I put them into one patch.I hope this is the last round.
After this the definition of the old DMA_nBIT_MASK macro could be removed.
