Using multiple cores in the same package to handle received traffic
does not appear to provide a performance benefit. Therefore use CPU
topology information to count CPU packages and use that as the default
number of RX queues and interrupts. We rely on interrupt balancing to
spread the interrupts across packages.

This avoids deadlock in case a reset is triggered during self-test.

Now that we have a specific lock to protect the network
device unicast and multicast lists, remove extraneous
grabs of the TX lock in cases where the code only needs
address list protection.

Add netif_addr_{lock,unlock}{,_bh}() helpers.
Use them to protect operations that operate on or read
the network device unicast and multicast address lists.
Also use them in cases where the code simply wants to
block calls into the driver's ->set_rx_mode() and
->set_multicast_list() methods.

The SFC4000 controller does not have hardware support for TSO, and the
core GSO code incurs a high cost in allocating and freeing skbs. This
TSO implementation uses lightweight packet header structures and is
substantially faster.

The driver supports the 10Xpress PHY and XFP modules on our reference
designs SFE4001 and SFE4002 and the SMC models SMC10GPCIe-XFP and
SMC10GPCIe-10BT.
