Edward Cree de1deff994 sfc: allow PIO more often
If an option descriptor has been sent on a queue but not followed by a
 packet, there will have been no completion event, so the read and write
 counts won't match and we'll think we can't do PIO.  This combines with
 the fact that we have two TX queues (for en/disable checksum offload),
 and that both must be empty for PIO to happen.
This patch adds a separate "packet_write_count" that tracks the most
 recent write_count we expect to see a completion event for; this excludes
 option descriptors but _includes_ PIO descriptors (even though they look
 like option descriptors).  This is then used, rather than write_count,
 in efx_nic_tx_is_empty().
We only bother to maintain packet_write_count on EF10, since on Siena
 (a) there are no option descriptors and it always equals write_count, and
 (b) there's no PIO, so we don't need it anyway.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
