This patch enables the load balancing capability of firmware
and hardware to spray traffic into different cpus through
separate rx msix interrupts.
The feature is being enabled for NX3031, NX2031 (old) will be
enabled later. This depends on msi-x and compatibility with
msi and legacy is maintained by enabling single rx ring.

o remove max_ prefix from ring sizes, since they don't really

o cleanup naming of rx ring types (normal, jumbo, lro).

NX3031 supports cut-through operation where ingress packets are
directly dma'ed into host buffers to reduce latency.
This requires larger dma buffers (2kb) and different alignemnt.
The buffer posting logic is changed a bit. The free rx buffers
are maintained in linked list, since the received reference
handles can be out of order. However rx descriptors are still
posted sequentially, indexed by producer.

tx lock appropriately.
o remove old "concurrent transmit" code that unnecessarily drops and
reacquires tx lock in hard_xmit_frame(), this is already serialized
the netdev xmit lock.
o reduce scope of tx lock in tx cleanup. tx cleanup operates on
different section of the ring than transmitting cpus and is
guarded by producer and consumer indices. This fixes a race
caused by rx softirq preemption on realtime kernels.

o separate and simpler irq handler for msi interrupts, avoids few checks
than legacy mode.
o avoid redudant tx_has_work() and rx_has_work() checks in interrupt
and napi, which can uncork irq based on racy (lockless) access to tx
and rx ring indices. If we get interrupt, there's sufficient reason to
schedule napi.
o replenish rx ring more often, remove self-imposed threshold rcv_free
that prevents posting rx desc to card. This improves performance in
low memory.

Here's the reworked patch.
This cleans up some unnecessary byte-swapping while setting up tx and
interpreting rx desc. The 64 bit rx status data should be converted
to host endian format only once and the macros just need to extract
bitfields.

(non) processing rx status ring.
