2afecc047e [PATCH] e100: re-enable microcode with more useful defaults
For the four versions of hardware that we (currently) support microcode
download on, the default configuration of our receive interrupt mitigation
microcode was too aggressive, and caused unnecessary delays when pinging,
and low(er) throughput on single connection latency sensitive performance
tests.

This code adds microcode support, and sets the defaults to more reasonable
settings. It also explains the functionality in the code in more detail.
Compile and load tested, shows expected behavior for slight delay of ping
packets (1-2ms) when ucode is loaded, and decent interrupt moderation for
small packets, while maintaining good throughput.

ecf7130b08 [PATCH] e100: correct rx_dropped and add rx_missed_errors
Do not count non-error frames dropped by the hardware as
part of rx_dropped. Instead, count those frames dropped as
rx_missed_errors. Also, do not count other error frames as part of
rx_dropped. Finally, do not count oversized frames in rx_dropped
(since they are counted as part of rx_length_errors).

Linus Torvalds
1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
