Due to stability issues in high load situations the HW queue handling
has to be changed. The HW queues are now stopped and restarted again instead
of destroying and allocating new HW queues.

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.

Introduces a module parameter to decide whether the physical
port link state is propagated to the network stack or not.
It makes sense not to take the physical port state into account
on machines with more logical partitions that communicate
with each other. This is always possible no matter what the physical
port state is. Thus eHEA can be considered as a switch there.

The driver didn't allow an interface's MAC address to be modified if the
respective interface wasn't setup - a failing Hcall was the result. Thus
bonding wasn't usable. The fix moves the failing Hcall which was registering
a MAC address for the reception of BC packets in firmware from the port up
and down functions to the port resources setup functions. Additionally the
missing update of the last_rx member of the netdev structure was added.

This patch adds support for DLPAR memory add to the eHEA driver. To detect
whether memory was added the driver uses its own memory mapping table and
checks for kernel addresses whether they're located in already known memory
sections. If not the function ehea_rereg_mrs() is triggered which performs
a rebuild of the mapping table and a re-registration of the global memory
region.

Hi Jeff,
sorry to bother you again. We figured out that the readq function we
included in the eHEA patch we sent yesterday to access eHEA registers
is defined as little endian on POWER. This collides with our adapter.
We talked to some PPC people who told us there is a discussion going
on about new access functions. We were told to use __raw_readq /
__raw_writeq for now.
This patch fixes this bug found by our internal tests today.
Please apply this small patch on the latest patch we sent you yesterday.
If it is easier for you I can also give you the entire eHEA patch again.
sorry and thanks a lot,
Jan-Bernd
