This patch works around the MWI bug on the DC21143 rev 65 Tulip by
ensuring that the receive buffers don't end on a cache line boundary
(as documented in the errata).
This patch is required for the MIPS based Cobalt Qube/RaQ as
supporting the extra PCI commands seems to reduce the chance of a hard

[netdrvr] tulip/winbond-840: don't let tulip.h symbol stomp ours
winbond-840 shares tulip.h with the tulip driver, because they share
many (but not all) of the same register definitions.
This is useful for the register definitions, but not helpful when it
comes to symbols that are shared among the tulip driver's C modules,
but not meant to be shared outside that one driver.
Thus, PKT_BUF_SZ is a symbol internal to tulip, but it was intruding
upon a similar symbol in winbond-840's namespace. This was not a
problem as long as the two symbols had the same value, but upcoming
patches result in differing symbol values.

This patch revises the logging for link informations of spidernet.
- The link down message is too verbose because auto-negotiation timeout
occurs periodically while an ethernet cable is not connected.
- We want to see the link result, and we think it should be displayed.
In addition to the value of GHIINT0STS, spidernet interrupt handler
should check the values of GHIINT1STS/GHIINT2STS registers at the
beginning of spider_net_interrupt() so as not to drop error
interrupts.
GHIINT1STS/GHIINT2STS registers indicates some of erroneous conditions
in spidernet, and a few bits of GHIINT0STS register reflects these
conditions. But GHIINT0MSK masks these bits, so you should check these
conditions by reading GHIINT1STS/GHIINT2STS registers directly.
- unmask GDAINVAINT. There is an operation to do by spidernet
interrupt handler.
- mask some interrupts. There are no operations in the interrupt handler.
In error and warning printks, always report the netdevice name
instead of the port index (the latter has no meaning when there
are multiple mv643xx_eth silicon blocks in the system.)
mv643xx_eth: identify ports by struct mv643xx_private *
Instead of identifying individual mv643xx ethernet ports by only
their port number, identify them by their struct mv643xx_private *,
as just a port number has no meaning when there are multiple
mv643xx_eth silicon blocks in the system.
- Remove unused MV643XX_DEFAULT_[RT]X_QUEUE_SIZE definitions.
- Remove ETH_TARGET enum -- it isn't used anywhere in the driver,
and isn't even valid for non-mv643xx chip models, as those use
different MBUS target IDs.
- Clean up comment and control flow in mv643xx_eth_change_mtu().
- Use mp->dev instead of mp->mii.dev in mv643xx_eth_tx_timeout_task().
- Make mv643xx_eth_free_tx_descs() static.

[NETNS]: The generic per-net pointers.
Add the elastic array of void * pointer to the struct net.
The access rules are simple:
1. register the ops with register_pernet_gen_device to get
the id of your private pointer
2. call net_assign_generic() to put the private data on the
struct net (most preferably this should be done in the
->init callback of the ops registered)
3. do not store any private reference on the net_generic array;
4. do not change this pointer while the net is alive;
5. use the net_generic() to get the pointer.
When adding a new pointer, I copy the old array, replace it
with a new one and schedule the old for kfree after an RCU
grace period.
Since the net_generic explores the net->gen array inside rcu
read section and once set the net->gen->ptr[x] pointer never
changes, this grants us a safe access to generic pointers.
