67e303e0c7 liquidio: improve UDP TX performance
Improve UDP TX performance by:
* reducing the ring size from 2K to 512
* replacing the numerous streaming DMA allocations for info buffers and
  gather lists with one large consistent DMA allocation per ring

BQL is not effective here.  We reduced the ring size because there is heavy
overhead with dma_map_single every so often.  With iommu=on, dma_map_single
in PF Tx data path was taking longer time (~700usec) for every ~250
packets.  Debugged intel_iommu code, and found that PF driver is utilizing
too many static IO virtual address mapping entries (for gather list entries
and info buffers): about 100K entries for two PF's each using 8 rings.
Also, finding an empty entry (in rbtree of device domain's iova mapping in
kernel) during Tx path becomes a bottleneck every so often; the loop to
find the empty entry goes through over 40K iterations; this is too costly
and was the major overhead.  Overhead is low when this loop quits quickly.

15d3afcc05 liquidio: optimize reads from Octeon PCI console
Reads from Octeon PCI console are inefficient because before each read
operation, a dynamic mapping to Octeon DRAM is set up.  This patch replaces
the repeated setup of a dynamic mapping with a one-time setup of a static
mapping.

f21fb3ed36 Add support of Cavium Liquidio ethernet adapters
Following patch V8 adds support for Cavium Liquidio pci express
based 10Gig ethernet adapters.
1) Consolidated all debug macros to either call dev_* or
   netdev_* macros directly, feedback from previous patch.
2) Changed soft commands to avoid crash when running
   in interrupt context.
3) Fixed link status not reflecting correct status when NetworkManager
   is running. Added MODULE_FIRMWARE declarations.

Following were the previous patches.
Patch V7:
1) Minor comments from v6 release regarding debug statements.
2) Fix for large multicast lists.
3) Fixed lockup issue if port initialization fails.
4) Enabled MSI by default.
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/464441/

Patch V6:
1) Addressed the uint64 vs u64 issue, feedback from previous patch.
2) Consolidated some receive processing routines.
3) Removed link status polling method.
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/459514/

Patch V5:
Based on the feedback from earlier patches with regards to
consolidation of common functions like device init, register
programming for cn66xx and cn68xx devices.
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/438979/

Patch V4:
Following were the changes based on the feedback from earlier patch:
1) Added mmiowb while synchronizing queue updates and other hw
   interactions.
2) Statistics will now be incremented non-atomically per each ring.
   liquidio_get_stats will add stats of each ring while reporting the
   total statistics counts.
3) Modified liquidio_ioctl  to return proper return codes.
4) Modified device naming to use standard Ethernet naming.
5) Global function names in the driver will have lio_/liquidio_/octeon_
   prefix.
6) Ethtool related changes for:
   Removed redundant stats and jiffies.
   Use default ethtool handler of link status.
   Speed setting will make use of ethtool_cmd_speed_set.
7) Added checks for pci_map_*  return codes.
8) Check for signals while waiting in interruptible mode

Patch v3:
Implemented feedback from previous patch like:
Removed NAPI Config and DEBUG config options, added BQL and xmit_more
support.
