Scott Bardone 559fb51ba7 Update Chelsio gige net driver.
- Use extern prefix for functions required.
- Removed a lot of wrappers, including t1_read/write_reg_4.
- Removed various macros, using native kernel calls now.
- Enumerated various #defines.
- Removed a lot of shared code which is not currently used in "NIC only" mode.
- Removed dead code.

Documentation/networking/cxgb.txt:
- Updated release notes for version 2.1.1

drivers/net/chelsio/ch_ethtool.h
- removed file, no longer using ETHTOOL namespace.

drivers/net/chelsio/common.h
- moved code from osdep.h to common.h
- added comment to #endif indicating which symbol it closes.

drivers/net/chelsio/cphy.h
- removed dead code.
- added comment to #endif indicating which symbol it closes.

drivers/net/chelsio/cxgb2.c
- use DMA_{32,64}BIT_MASK in include/linux/dma-mapping.h.
- removed unused code.
- use printk message for link info resembling drivers/net/mii.c.
- no longer using the MODULE_xxx namespace.
- no longer using "pci_" namespace.
- no longer using ETHTOOL namespace.

drivers/net/chelsio/cxgb2.h
- removed file, merged into common.h

drivers/net/chelsio/elmer0.h

  drivers/net/chelsio/sge.c
  - rewrote large portion of scatter-gather engine to stabilize
  performance.
  - using u8/u16/u32 kernel types instead of __u8/__u16/__u32 compiler
  types.

  drivers/net/chelsio/sge.h
  - rewrote large portion of scatter-gather engine to stabilize
  performance.

Christoph Lameter 8199d3a79c [PATCH] A new 10GB Ethernet Driver by Chelsio Communications
A Linux driver for the Chelsio 10Gb Ethernet Network Controller by Chelsio
(http://www.chelsio.com).  This driver supports the Chelsio N210 NIC and is
backward compatible with the Chelsio N110 model 10Gb NICs.  It supports
AMD64, EM64T and x86 systems.

- my3126.c is unused (because t1_my3126_ops isn't used anywhere)
- what are the EXTRA_CFLAGS in drivers/net/chelsio/Makefile for?
- $(cxgb-y) in drivers/net/chelsio/Makefile seems to be unneeded
- completely unused global functions:
  - espi.c: t1_espi_get_intr_counts
  - sge.c: t1_sge_get_intr_counts
- the following functions can be made static:
  - sge.c: t1_espi_workaround
  - sge.c: t1_sge_tx
  - subr.c: __t1_tpi_read
  - subr.c: __t1_tpi_write
  - subr.c: t1_wait_op_done

The performance recommendations in cxgb.txt are common to all fast devices,
and should be in one file rather than just for this device. I would rather
see ip-sysctl.txt updated or a new file on tuning recommendations started.
Some of them have consequences that aren't documented well.
For example, turning off TCP timestamps risks data corruption from sequence wrap.

A new driver shouldn't need so may #ifdef's unless you want to putit on older
vendor versions of 2.4

Some accessor and wrapper functions like:
        t1_pci_read_config_4
        adapter_name
        t1_malloc
are just annoying noise.

Why have useless dead code like:

/* Interrupt handler */
+static int pm3393_interrupt_handler(struct cmac *cmac)
+{
+       u32 master_intr_status;
+/*
+    1. Read master interrupt register.
+    2. Read BLOCK's interrupt status registers.
+    3. Handle BLOCK interrupts.
+*/

step 1:  kill all the OS wrappers.

 And do you really need hooks for multiple MACs, when only one MAC is
 really supported?  Typically these hooks are at a higher level anyway --
 struct net_device.

From: Christoph Lameter <christoph@lameter

Driver modified as suggested by Pekka Enberg, Stephen Hemminger and Andrian
Bunk.  Reduces the size of the driver to ~260k.

- clean up tabs
- removed my3126.c
- removed 85% of suni1x10gexp_regs.h
- removed 80% of regs.h
- removed various calls, renamed variables/functions.
- removed system specific and other wrappers (usleep, msleep)
- removed dead code
- dropped redundant casts in osdep.h
- dropped redundant check of kfree
- dropped weird code (MODVERSIONS stuff)
- reduced number of #ifdefs
- use kcalloc now instead of kmalloc
- Add information about known issues with the driver
- Add information about authors
