78ed11a56b netdrv intel: always enable VLAN filtering except in promiscous mode
Currently VLAN filtering is enabled when the first VLAN is added.
Obviously before that there's no point in receiving any VLAN packets.
Now that we disable VLAN filtering in promiscous mode, we can keep
the VLAN filters enabled the remaining time.

746b9f0228 netdrv intel: disable VLAN filtering in promiscous mode
As discussed in this thread:

http://www.mail-archive.com/netdev@vger.kernel.org/msg53976.html

promiscous mode means to disable *all* filters. Currently only unicast
and multicast filtering is disabled. This patch changes all Intel
drivers to also disable VLAN filtering.

49d85c502e [NET]: Fix interrupt semaphore corruption in Intel drivers.
Several of the Intel ethernet drivers keep an atomic counter used to
manage when to actually hit the hardware with a disable or an enable.

The way the net_rx_work() breakout logic works during a pending
napi_disable() is that it simply unschedules the poll even if it
still has work.

This can potentially leave interrupts disabled, but that is OK
because all of the drivers are about to disable interrupts
anyways in all such code paths that do a napi_disable().

Unfortunately, this trips up the semaphore used here in the Intel
drivers.  If you hit this case, when you try to bring the interface
back up it won't enable interrupts.  A reload of the driver module
fixes it of course.

So what we do is make sure all the sequences now go:

	napi_disable();
	atomic_set(&adapter->irq_sem, 0);
	*_irq_disable();

which makes sure the counter is always in the correct state.

53e52c729c [NET]: Make ->poll() breakout consistent in Intel ethernet drivers.
This makes the ->poll() routines of the E100, E1000, E1000E, IXGB, and
IXGBE drivers complete ->poll() consistently.

Now they will all break out when the amount of RX work done is less
than 'budget'.

At a later time, we may want put back code to include the TX work as
well (as at least one other NAPI driver does, but by in large NAPI
drivers do not do this).  But if so, it should be done consistently
across the board to all of these drivers.

bea3348eef [NET]: Make NAPI polling independent of struct net_device objects.
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.

With lots of help and suggestions from Rusty Russell, Roland Dreier,
Michael Chan, Jeff Garzik, and Jamal Hadi Salim.

Bug fixes from Thomas Graf, Roland Dreier, Peter Zijlstra,
Joseph Fannin, Scott Wood, Hans J. Koch, and Michael Chan.
