Michał Mirosław a0d2730c95 net: vmxnet3: convert to hw_features
This also removes private feature flags that were always set to true.

You may want to move vmxnet3_set_features() to vmxnet3_drv.c as a following
cleanup.

Stanislaw Gruszka 673e63c688 net: fix ethtool->set_flags not intended -EINVAL return value
After commit d5dbda2380 "ethtool: Add
support for vlan accleration.", drivers that have NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_TX,
and/or NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_RX feature, but do not allow enable/disable vlan
acceleration via ethtool set_flags, always return -EINVAL from that
function. Fix by returning -EINVAL only if requested features do not
match current settings and can not be changed by driver.

Change any driver that define ethtool->set_flags to use
ethtool_invalid_flags() to avoid similar problems in the future
(also on drivers that do not have the problem).

Tested with modified (to reproduce this bug) myri10ge driver.

Shreyas Bhatewara 51956cd68b vmxnet3: Disable napi in suspend, reenable in resume.
There is a small possibility of a race where the suspend routine gets
called, while a napi callback is still pending and when that comes up,
it enables interrupts which just got disabled in the suspend routine.
This change adds napi disable call in suspend and enable in resume to
avoid race.

Tejun Heo 23f333a2bf drivers/net: don't use flush_scheduled_work()
flush_scheduled_work() is on its way out.  This patch contains simple
conversions to replace flush_scheduled_work() usage with direct
cancels and flushes.

Directly cancel the used works on driver detach and flush them in
other cases.

The conversions are mostly straight forward and the only dangers are,

* Forgetting to cancel/flush one or more used works.

* Cancelling when a work should be flushed (ie. the work must be
  executed once scheduled whether the driver is detaching or not).

I've gone over the changes multiple times but it would be much
appreciated if you can review with the above points in mind.

the driver can be built on big endian architectures now. Although vmxnet3
