Nick Nunley 2873957df0 igb: reduce cache misses on tx cleanup
This patch reduces the number of skb cache misses in the
clean_tx_irq path, and results in an overall increase
in tx packet throughput.

Alexander Duyck 59d7198935 igb: convert igb from using PCI DMA functions to using DMA API functions
This patch makes it so that igb now uses the DMA API functions instead of
the PCI API functions.  To do this the pci_dev pointer that was in the
rings has been replaced with a device pointer, and as a result all
references to [tr]x_ring->pdev have been replaced with [tr]x_ring->dev.

This patch is based of of work originally done by Nicholas Nunley.

Nick Nunley 757b77e2b2 igb: add per-packet timestamping
This patch adds support for per-packet timestamping for the
82580 adapter. The rx timestamp code is also pulled out of the
inlined rx hotpath and instead moved to a seperate function.

This version adds a comment explaining the per-packet timestamping
code added to igb_hwtstamp_ioctl().

Emil Tantilov d07f3e375f igb: do not modify tx_queue_len on link speed change
Previously the driver tweaked txqueuelen to avoid false Tx hang reports seen at half duplex.
This had the effect of overriding user set values on link change/reset. Testing shows that
adjusting only the timeout factor is sufficient to prevent Tx hang reports at half duplex.

Nick Nunley 58fd62f525 igb: change descriptor control thresholds
This change simplifies the code by setting RX_PTHRESH to 8 for
all devices, as it was unlikely that there was any advantage to
set it at 16 for earlier cards. Additionally TX_WTHRESH is
set to 1 for the 82576 NIC to improve performance by enabling
a minimal amount of write combining when writing back descriptors.

Based on the previous patches from Jesper Dangaard Brouer <hawk@comx.dk>

Implement reading the per queue drop stats register
RQDPC (Receive Queue Drop Packet Count).  It counts the number of
packets dropped by a queue due to lack of descriptors available.

Notice RQDPC (Receive Queue Drop Packet Count) stats only gets
incremented, if the DROP_EN bit it set (in the SRRCTL register
for that queue).  If DROP_EN bit is NOT set, then the some what
equivalent count is stored in RNBC (not per queue basis).

The RQDPC register is only 12 bit, thus the precision might
suffer due to overrun in-netween the watchdog polling interval.

Patrick Ohly 33af6bcc00 igb: use timecompare to implement hardware time stamping
Both TX and RX hardware time stamping are implemented.  Due to
hardware limitations it is not possible to verify reliably which
packet was time stamped when multiple were pending for sending; this
could be solved by only allowing one packet marked for hardware time
stamping into the queue (not implemented yet).

RX time stamping relies on the flag in the packet descriptor which
marks packets that were time stamped. In "all packet" mode this flag
is not set. TODO: also support that mode (even though it'll suffer
from race conditions).
