Several devices have multiple independant RX queues per net
device, and some have a single interrupt doorbell for several
queues.
In either case, it's easier to support layouts like that if the
structure representing the poll is independant from the net
device itself.
The signature of the ->poll() call back goes from:
int foo_poll(struct net_device *dev, int *budget)
to
int foo_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget)
The caller is returned the number of RX packets processed (or
the number of "NAPI credits" consumed if you want to get
abstract). The callee no longer messes around bumping
dev->quota, *budget, etc. because that is all handled in the
caller upon return.
The napi_struct is to be embedded in the device driver private data
structures.
Furthermore, it is the driver's responsibility to disable all NAPI
instances in it's ->stop() device close handler. Since the
napi_struct is privatized into the driver's private data structures,
only the driver knows how to get at all of the napi_struct instances
it may have per-device.

Stephen's follow-on kerneldoc additions, and restored poll_list
handling to the old style to fix mutual exclusion issues. -DaveM ]

Fixed rare issue that 'lv1_net_start_rx_dma failed, status=-9" was shown
in dmesg. This meant restarting rx DMA had been rejected by the hypervisor.
This issue would caused if the guest os requested starting DMA when
the hypervisor thought the DMA was in progress.
The state machine for DMA status of the hypervisor would be updated
by processing interrupt in the hypervisor.
Thus we should wait for the interrupt delivery before restarting
DMA.

Removed the statistics information from private structre.
Instead, use net_device_stats in net_device structure.

Hi,
This is the third submission of the network driver for PS3.
The differences from the previous one are:
- renamed source file names so that their prefix can match
with the module name
- added cbe-oss-dev@ozlabs.org line for MAINTAINER file
- changed some in copyright comments
If there are no more comments, please apply for 2.6.23.
Thank you
