This patch fixes a case in the transmit completion code which was resulting
in pktgen hanging at the end of a run. The cause is due to the fact that
the ->cb[] area of an skb cannot be used in a network driver's transmit
path, as that area belongs to the network protocol. Pktgen hangs, as it
sends out the same packet multiple times, and vxge's use of this area of
the skb for a temporary list can only add the packet to the temporary list
once (while it may be on the queue many times). The fix is to remove this
abuse of skb->cb[]. Instead, skb pointers are placed into a temporary
stack array, and then free outside of the tx lock. This retains the smp
optimization of doing dev_kfree_skb() outside of the tx lock.

- Removed ioremap of bar1 address
Driver needs only bar0 address for register access
- Removed references to bar1 and bar2 addresses

This patch takes care of Initialization and configuration steps of
Neterion Inc's X3100 Series 10GbE PCIe I/O Virtualized Server Adapter.
- Device Initialization.
- Verification and setting of device config parameters.
- Allocation of Tx FIFO and Rx Ring descriptors (DTR).
- APIs to get various type of hw stats
- APIs to configure RTS (Receive Traffic Steering)
- Changes in this submission -
- Include vmalloc header without which a compilation error occured
on sparc64, ppc64 and IA64 plaforms.
- Fixed compilation warning in register_poll, write32_upper,
write32_lower and the special write64 functions on ppc64.
- General cleanup - removed redundant includes and defines.
- Changes in previous submissions -
- Add readq/writeq implementation for the driver for 32 bit systems -
reported by Dave Miller.
- Incorporated following comments from Ben Hutchings
- Start a comment with "/**" to make it a kernel-doc comment.
- Use prefix, "__vxge" in front of hw functions to make them globally
unique.
- Fixed unnecessary clearing members of *channel just before freeing
- Use backslashes only for macro definitions and not in multi-line
statements.
- Used pci_find_capability instead of redefining it.
- Used device and revision ids that are already in pdev - no need to
read them again.
- Used pci_save_state() and pci_restore_state() around resets.
- Used udelay and mdelay directly instead of wrapper.
- In __vxge_hw_device_register_poll() reset i to 0 after the
microsecond delay loop to commence the millisecond delay loop.
- Corrected spelling "sapper" - should be "swapper"
- Remove too much vertical whitespace.
- Replaced magic numbers with appropriate macros
- Incorporated following comments from Andi Kleen [andi@firstfloor.org]
- Reduced the arguments in functions or refactored them into smaller
functions.
- Allocate page sized memories used in slow path with vmalloc.
- Use asserts where necessary.
- Use macros instead of magic numbers.
- Use the pci layer code instead of defining own functions
- Remove driver wrappers such as xge_hw_device_private_set().
- Fixed sparse warnings.
