The Marvell mv643xx ethernet hardware requires that DMA buffers be
aligned to 8-byte boundaries. This patch satisfies this requirement.
Buffers allocated by dev_alloc_skb() only have 4-byte alignment when
slab debugging is enabled.
Also, document that the 2-byte offset to align the IP packets on
receive is a hardware feature and is not tied to NET_IP_ALIGN.

Using __get_cpu_var(obj) is slightly faster than per_cpu_ptr(obj,
raw_smp_processor_id()).
1) Smaller code and memory use
For static and small objects, DEFINE_PER_CPU(type, object) is preferred over a
alloc_percpu() : Better and smaller code to access them, and no extra memory
(storing the pointer, and the percpu array of pointers)
x86_64 code before patch
mov 1237577(%rip),%rax # ffffffff803e5990 <rt_cache_stat>
not %rax # part of per_cpu machinery
mov %gs:0x3c,%edx # get cpu number
movslq %edx,%rdx # extend 32 bits cpu number to 64 bits
mov (%rax,%rdx,8),%rax # get the pointer for this cpu
incl 0x38(%rax)
x86_64 code after patch
mov $per_cpu__rt_cache_stat,%rdx
mov %gs:0x48,%rax # get percpu data offset
incl 0x38(%rax,%rdx,1)
2) False sharing avoidance for SMP :
For a small NR_CPUS, the array of per cpu pointers allocated in alloc_percpu()
can be <= 32 bytes. This let slab code gives a part of a cache line. If the
other part of this 64 bytes (or 128 bytes) cache line is used by a mostly
written object, we can have false sharing and expensive per_cpu_ptr() operations.
Size of rt_cache_stat is 64 bytes, so this patch is not a danger of a too big
increase of bss (in UP mode) or static per_cpu data for SMP
(PERCPU_ENOUGH_ROOM is currently 32768 bytes)

Some subsystems, such as PPP, can send negative values
here. It just happened to work correctly on 32-bit with
an unsigned value, but on 64-bit this explodes.
Figured out by Paul Mackerras based upon several PPP crash
reports.

Add nvram lock count so that calls to tg3_nvram_lock()/unlock() can
be nested. Add error checking to all callers of tg3_nvram_lock()
where appropriate. To prevent nvram lock failures after halting the
firmware, it is also necessary to release firmware's nvram lock in
tg3_halt_cpu().
Update version to 3.48.
Based on David Miller's initial patch.

Currently when PRIO is configured to use N bands, it lets the packets be
directed to any of the bands 0..N-1. However, PRIO attaches a fifo qdisc
only to the bands that appear in the priomap; the rest of the N bands
remain with a noop qdisc attached. This patch changes PRIO's behavior so
that it attaches a fifo qdisc to all of the N bands.
