The new FW improves the packets per second rate. It required a lot of change in
the FW which implies many changes in the driver to support it. It is now also
possible for the driver to use a separate MSI-X vector for Rx and Tx - this also
add some to the complicity of this change.
All things said - after this patch, practically all performance matrixes show
improvement.
Though Vladislav Zolotarov is not signed on this patch, he did most of the job
and deserves credit for that.

Setting better HW thresholds and enabling FW capabilities for better
enforcement. Also set the HW to more efficiently use the internal buffers if
this is a single port design

This is the FW blob and the relevant definitions without any logic. It
also contains the minimal mandatory code changes to work with this FW
but it does not contain enabling of the new features that this FW
provides.
This FW is needed for:
- More efficient multi-queue
- per queue statistics
- Big-endian issue with MSI
- Improved pause response

Statistics
- Making sure that each drop is accounted for in the driver statistics
- Clearing the FW statistics when driver is loaded to prevent
inconsistency with HW statistics
- Once error is detected (bnx2x_panic_dump), stop the statistics
before other actions (currently it is stopped last and can corrupt
the data) - Adding HW checksum error counter to the statistics
- Removing unused variable stats_ticks
- Using macros instead of magic numbers to indicate which statistics are
shared per port and which are per function

Supporting the 57711 and 57711E - refers to in the code as E1H. The
57710 is referred to as E1.
To support the new members in the family, the bnx2x structure was
divided to 3 parts: common, port and function. These changes caused some
rearrangement in the bnx2x.h file.
A set of accessories macros were added to make access to the bnx2x
structure more readable
