Commit 947976d ("[netdevice] Do not force a poll on net_tx()")
requires network devices to have TX rings that are sufficiently large
to allow a transmitted response to all packets received during a
single poll.

The Intel NIC emulation in some versions of VMware seems to suffer
from a flaw whereby the Interrupt Cause Register (ICR) fails to assert
the usual "packet received" bit (ICR.RXT0) if a receive overflow
(ICR.RXO) has also occurred.
Work around this flaw by polling for completed descriptors whenever
either ICR.RXT0 or ICR.RXO is asserted.

Almost all clients of the raw-packet interfaces (UNDI and SNP) can
handle only Ethernet link layers. Expose an Ethernet-compatible link
layer to local clients, while remaining compatible with IPoIB on the
wire. This requires manipulation of ARP (but not DHCP) packets within
the IPoIB driver.
This is ugly, but it's the only viable way to allow IPoIB devices to
be driven via the raw-packet interfaces.

Some RTL8169 cards seem to drive the EEPROM CS line high (i.e. active)
when 9346CR.EEM is set to "normal operating mode", with the result
that the CS line is never deasserted. The symptom of this is that the
first read from the EEPROM will work, while all subsequent reads will
return garbage data.

Some RTL8169 cards (observed with an RTL8169SC) power up advertising
only 100Mbps, despite being capable of 1000Mbps. Forcibly enable
advertisement of 1000Mbps on any RTL8169-like card.
This change relies on the assumption that the CTRL1000 register will
not exist on 100Mbps-only RTL8169 cards such as the RTL8101.

Some RTL8169 cards (observed with an RTL8169SC) crash and burn if DAC
is enabled, even if only 32-bit addresses are used. Observed
behaviour includes system lockups and repeated transmission of garbage
data onto the wire.
This seems to be a known problem. The Linux r8169 driver disables DAC
by default and provides a "use_dac" module parameter.
There appears to be no known test for determining whether or not DAC
will work. As a workaround, enable DAC only if we are built as as
64-bit binary. This at least eliminates the problem in the common
case of a 32-bit build, which will never use 64-bit addresses anyway.

Some RTL8169 cards (observed with an RTL8169SC) power up with
TCR.MXDMA set to 16 bytes. While this does not prevent proper
operation, it almost certainly degrades performance.
Fix by explicitly setting TCR.MXDMA to "unlimited".

On i350 the datasheet contradicts itself in stating that the default
value of RXDCTL.ENABLE for queue zero is both set (according to the
"Receive Initialization" section) and unset (according to the "Receive
Descriptor Control - RXDCTL" section). Empirical evidence suggests
that the default value is unset.
Explicitly enable both transmit and receive queues to avoid any
ambiguity.

On 82576 (and probably others), the datasheet states that "the tail
register of the queue (RDT[n]) should not be bumped until the queue is
enabled". There is some confusion over exactly what constitutes
"enabled": the initialisation blurb says that we should "poll the
RXDCTL register until the ENABLE bit is set", while the description
for the RXDCTL register says that the ENABLE bit is set by default
(for queue zero). Empirical evidence suggests that the ENABLE bit
reads as set immediately after writing to RCTL.EN, and so polling is
not necessary.

RTL8139C+ cards use essentially the same datapath as RTL8169, which is
zerocopy and 64-bit capable. Older RTL8139 cards use a single receive
ring buffer rather than a descriptor ring, but still share substantial
amounts of functionality with RTL8169.
Include support for RTL8139 cards within the generic Realtek driver,
since there is no way to differentiate between RTL8139 and RTL8139C+
cards based on the PCI IDs alone.
Many thanks to all the people who worked on the rtl8139 driver over
the years.

The link state is currently set at probe time, and updated only when
the device is polled. This results in the user seeing a misleading
stale "Link: down" message, if autonegotiation did not complete within
the short timespan of the probe routine.
Fix by updating the link state when the device is opened, so that the
message that ends up being displayed to the user reflects the real
link state at device open time.
