c31fd6c25c usbnet: remove direct access to urb->status

4478a9cdf0 igb: drop support for UDP hashing w/ RSS
This change removes UDP from the supported protocols for RSS hashing.  The
reason for removing this protocol is because IP fragmentation was causing a
network flow to be broken into two streams, one for fragmented, and one for
non-fragmented and this in turn was causing out-of-order issues.

5fa8517f03 igb: Use only a single Tx queue in SR-IOV mode
The 82576 expects the second rx queue in any pool to receive L2 switch
loop back packets sent from the second tx queue in another pool.  The
82576 VF driver does not enable the second rx queue so if the PF driver
sends packets destined to a VF from its second tx queue then the VF
driver will never see them.  In SR-IOV mode limit the number of tx queues
used by the PF driver to one. This patch fixes a bug reported in which
the PF cannot communciate with the VF and should be considered for 2.6.34
stable.

f860d526eb ath9k: fix TSF after reset on AR913x
When issuing a reset, the TSF value is lost in the hardware because of
the 913x specific cold reset. As with some AR9280 cards, the TSF needs
to be preserved in software here.

Additionally, there's an issue that frequently prevents a successful
TSF write directly after the chip reset. In this case, repeating the
TSF write after the initval-writes usually works.

This patch detects failed TSF writes and recovers from them, taking
into account the delay caused by the initval writes.

When an interface is removed the according beacon entry should be reset.
The current approach to only clear the first word is not enough to stop

of only the first word.

511d934f44 gianfar: Implement workaround for eTSEC-A002 erratum
MPC8313ECE says:

"If the controller receives a 1- or 2-byte frame (such as an illegal
 runt packet or a packet with RX_ER asserted) before GRS is asserted
 and does not receive any other frames, the controller may fail to set
 GRSC even when the receive logic is completely idle. Any subsequent
 receive frame that is larger than two bytes will reset the state so
 the graceful stop can complete. A MAC receiver (Rx) reset will also
 reset the state."

This patch implements the proposed workaround:

"If IEVENT[GRSC] is still not set after the timeout, read the eTSEC
 register at offset 0xD1C. If bits 7-14 are the same as bits 23-30,
 the eTSEC Rx is assumed to be idle and the Rx can be safely reset.
 If the register fields are not equal, wait for another timeout
 period and check again."

deb90eacd0 gianfar: Implement workaround for eTSEC76 erratum
MPC8313ECE says:

"For TOE=1 huge or jumbo frames, the data required to generate the
 checksum may exceed the 2500-byte threshold beyond which the controller
 constrains itself to one memory fetch every 256 eTSEC system clocks.

 This throttling threshold is supposed to trigger only when the
 controller has sufficient data to keep transmit active for the duration
 of the memory fetches. The state machine handling this threshold,
 however, fails to take large TOE frames into account. As a result,
 TOE=1 frames larger than 2500 bytes often see excess delays before start
 of transmission."

This patch implements the workaround as suggested by the errata
document, i.e.:

"Limit TOE=1 frames to less than 2500 bytes to avoid excess delays due to
 memory throttling.
 When using packets larger than 2700 bytes, it is recommended to turn TOE
 off."

To be sure, we limit the TOE frames to 2500 bytes, and do software
checksumming instead.
