Remove the module parameter to enable msi-x support and enable msi-x

2e06826bc6 alx: prepare tx path for multi queue support
This patch prepares the tx path to send data on multiple tx queues. It
introduces per queue register adresses and uses them in the alx_tx_queue
structs.

There are new helper functions for the queue mapping in the tx path.

e0eac25460 alx: prepare interrupt functions for multiple queues
Extend the interrupt bringup code and the interrupt handler for msi-x
interrupts in order to handle multiple queues.

We must change the poll function because with multiple queues it is possible

Add new functions to allocate and free the alx_napi structures and use them

67bef94280 ethernet/atheros: use core min/max MTU checking
atl2: min_mtu 40, max_mtu 1504

- Remove a few redundant defines that already have equivalents in
  if_ether.h.

atl1: min_mtu 42, max_mtu 10218

atl1e: min_mtu 42, max_mtu 8170

atl1c: min_mtu 42, max_mtu 6122/1500

- GbE hardware gets a max_mtu of 6122, slower hardware gets 1500.

alx: min_mtu 34, max_mtu 9256

- Not so sure that minimum MTU number is really what was intended, but
  that's what the math actually makes it out to be, due to max_frame
  manipulations and comparison in alx_change_mtu, rather than just
  comparing new_mtu. (I think 68 was the intended min_mtu value).

881d0327db net: alx: Work around the DMA RX overflow issue
Commit 26c5f03 uses a new skb allocator to avoid the RFD overflow
issue.

But from debugging without datasheet, we found the error always
happen when the DMA RX address is set to 0x....fc0, which is very
likely to be a HW/silicon problem.

So one idea is instead of adding a new allocator, why not just
hitting the right target by avaiding the error-prone DMA address?

This patch will actually
* Remove the commit 26c5f03
* Apply rx skb with 64 bytes longer space, and if the allocated skb
  has a 0x...fc0 address, it will use skb_resever(skb, 64) to
  advance the address, so that the RX overflow can be avoided.

In theory this method should also apply to atl1c driver, which
I can't find anyone who can help to test on real devices.

26c5f03b2a net: alx: use custom skb allocator
This patch follows Eric Dumazet's commit 7b70176421 for Atheros
atl1c driver to fix one exactly same bug in alx driver, that the
network link will be lost in 1-5 minutes after the device is up.

My laptop Lenovo Y580 with Atheros AR8161 ethernet device hit the
same problem with kernel 4.4, and it will be cured by Jarod Wilson's
commit c406700c for alx driver which get merged in 4.5. But there
are still some alx devices can't function well even with Jarod's
patch, while this patch could make them work fine. More details on
	https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70761

The debug shows the issue is very likely to be related with the RX
DMA address, specifically 0x...f80, if RX buffer get 0x...f80 several
times, their will be RX overflow error and device will stop working.

For kernel 4.5.0 with Jarod's patch which works fine with my
AR8161/Lennov Y580, if I made some change to the
	__netdev_alloc_skb
		--> __alloc_page_frag()
to make the allocated buffer can get an address with 0x...f80,
then the same error happens. If I make it to 0x...f40 or 0x....fc0,
everything will be still fine. So I tend to believe that the
0x..f80 address cause the silicon to behave abnormally.

f43bfaeddc atl2: Disable unimplemented scatter/gather feature
atl2 includes NETIF_F_SG in hw_features even though it has no support
for non-linear skbs.  This bug was originally harmless since the
driver does not claim to implement checksum offload and that used to
be a requirement for SG.

Now that SG and checksum offload are independent features, if you
explicitly enable SG *and* use one of the rare protocols that can use
SG without checkusm offload, this potentially leaks sensitive
information (before you notice that it just isn't working).  Therefore
this obscure bug has been designated CVE-2016-2117.

c406700cdf ethernet/atheros/alx: sanitize buffer sizing and padding
This is based on the work done by Przemek Rudy in bug 70761 at
bugzilla.kernel.org, but with some work done to disentagle and clarify
things a bit.

Similar to Przemek's work and other drivers, we're adding a padding of 16
here, but we're also disentangling mtu size calculations from max buffer
size calculations a bit, and adding ETH_HLEN to the value written into
ALX_MTU. Hopefully, with a bit more consistency and clarity, things behave
better here. Sadly, I can only test in my alx-driven E2200, which worked
just fine before this patch.

In comment  of bug 70761, Eugene A. Shatokhin reports that this patch
does help considerably for a ROSA Linux user of his with an AR8162 network
adapter when patched into a 4.1.x-based kernel, with several days of
normal operation where wired network previously wasn't usable without
setting MTU to 9000 as a work-around.

0208e951d5 ethernet/atheros/alx: add Killer E2400 device ID
This patch adds the PCI device ID (0xe0a1) and alx_pci_tbl entry for the
Killer E2400 Ethernet controller, modeled after the Killer E2200
controller support (0xe091) already present in the alx driver.

This patch was originally authored by Ben Pope, but it got held up by
issues in the commit message, so I'm resubmitting it on his behalf.

I've extensively used a kernel with this patch on a System76 serw9
laptop and am quite confident it works well (at least on the hardware I
have available for testing).

Note that as a favor to System76, Ubuntu has been carrying this as a
sauce patch in their 4.2 based Wily kernel, which presumably has given
it real-world testing on other E2400 equipped hardware (I don't know of
any Ubuntu kernel bugs filed about it):

47ea032533 drivers/net: get rid of unnecessary initializations in .get_drvinfo()
Many drivers initialize uselessly n_priv_flags, n_stats, testinfo_len,
eedump_len & regdump_len fields in their .get_drvinfo() ethtool op.
It's not necessary as these fields is filled in ethtool_get_drvinfo().

v2: removed unused variable
v3: removed another unused variable

47b344b27a net: atl1c: add BQL support
This BQL implementation is mostly derived from its related driver, alx.
Tested on AR8131 (rev c0) [1969:1063]. Saturated a 100mbps link with 5
concurrent runs of netperf. Ping latency dropped from 14ms to 3ms.

138b15ed87 drivers/net: remove all references to obsolete Ethernet-HOWTO
This howto made sense in the 1990s when users had to manually configure
ISA cards with jumpers or vendor utilities, but with the implementation
of PCI it became increasingly less and less relevant, to the point where
it has been well over a decade since I last updated it.  And there is
no value in anyone else taking over updating it either.

However the references to it continue to spread as boiler plate text
from one Kconfig file into the next.  We are not doing end users any
favours by pointing them at this old document, so lets kill it with
fire, once and for all, to hopefully stop any further spread.

No code is changed in this commit, just Kconfig help text.

dbedd44e98 ethernet: codespell comment spelling fixes
To test a checkpatch spelling patch, I ran codespell against
drivers/net/ethernet/.

$ git ls-files drivers/net/ethernet/ | \
  while read file ; do \
    codespell -w $file; \
  done

I removed a false positive in e1000_hw.h

Conflicts:
	drivers/net/xen-netfront.c

Minor overlapping changes in xen-netfront.c, mostly to do
with some buffer management changes alongside the split
of stats into TX and RX.

The same macros are used for rx as well. So rename it.

7a05dc64e2 alx: fix alx_poll()
Commit d75b1ade56 ("net: less interrupt masking in NAPI") uncovered
wrong alx_poll() behavior.

A NAPI poll() handler is supposed to return exactly the budget when/if
napi_complete() has not been called.

It is also supposed to return number of frames that were received, so
that netdev_budget can have a meaning.

Also, in case of TX pressure, we still have to dequeue received
packets : alx_clean_rx_irq() has to be called even if
alx_clean_tx_irq(alx) returns false, otherwise device is half duplex.
