Combine the "command" and "completion" locks into a single lock,
on each egress queue, to improve efficiency.
Support the use of 4KB pages in the "egress queue".
Delete the unused "duplicate ACK compression" code.
Filter "bad" (i.e. truncated) packets.
Avoid corrupting "dev->napi_list", by sequentializing modifications.
Deregister for incoming packets during stop, to reduce unexpected
interrupts. Also, encourage active NAPI loops to complete before
we disable NAPI, which would otherwise crash.
Free any pending completions after shutting down LEPP.
Use a single, permanently registered, IRQ handler, to avoid situations
in which the IRQ handler was firing after being freed, and ignore any
"unexpected" interrupts.
Drop egress packets, instead of spinning, if the hardware cannot keep
up, or is disconnected.

It now takes an additional argument so it can be used to
flush-and-invalidate pages that are cached using hash-for-home
as well those that are cached with coherence point on a single cpu.
This allows it to be used more widely for changing the coherence
point of arbitrary pages when necessary.

Use is_unicast_ether_addr from linux/etherdevice.h instead of custom
macros.

This change adds the first network driver for the tile architecture,
supporting the on-chip XGBE and GBE shims.
The infrastructure is present for the TILE-Gx networking drivers (another
three source files in the new directory) but for now the the actual
tilegx sources are waiting on releasing hardware to initial customers.
Note that arch/tile/include/hv/* are "upstream" headers from the
Tilera hypervisor and will probably benefit less from LKML review.
