The VIA driver has changed the default for the DMA_LENGTH_DEF parameter.
Together with adaptive interrupt supression and NAPI support, this
improves performance quite a bit

This patch adds NAPI support for VIA velocity. The new velocity_poll
function also pairs tx/rx handling twice which improves perforamance on
some workloads (e.g., netperf UDP_STREAM) significantly (that part is
from the VIA driver).

(From the VIA driver). The current code does not guarantee 64-byte
alignment since it simply does
int add = skb->data & 63;
skb->data += add;
(via skb_reserve). So for example, if the skb->data address would be
0x10, this would result in 32-byte alignment (0x10 + 0x10).
Correct by adding
64 - (skb->data & 63)
instead.

This patch corrects a message bug in the via-velocity driver which
bothered me for some time.
The messages printed during device init look like the following:
[ 8.486422] eth%d: set value of parameter Wake On Lan options to 0
^^!
[ 8.487340] eth0: VIA Networking Velocity Family Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
Note the unresolved format string.
dev->name is unavailable before register_netdev, so use
dev_driver_string(&pdev->dev), which is also consistent with other
drivers.
"char *devname" parameters had to be converted to "const char *devname" to
be consistent with dev_driver_string return value.

Updates of the RBRDU have two different meanings depending on their
context:
1. the receiving process has not started - the value which is written
into the RBRDU register is supposed to be the free rx descriptors
count (rounded to a multiple of 4)
2. the receiving process is running - the value increments the count
above (sic)
The update is currently issued deep inside the rx replenish chain (see
velocity_give_many_rx_descs).
Let's propagate enough information to the caller so that the rx
replenish functions do not depend on hardware any more.
It is needed to perform the Rx/Tx buffers housekeeping when MTU changes.

Executive summary: the bounce buffers are in my way
- they use something like a 64 * 1500 bytes area of PCI
consistent area
- they are not resized when the MTU changes
- they are used
- to hand-pad undersized packets. skb_pad anyone ?
- to linearize fragmented skbs whose fragment count
goes beyond the 7 fragments hardware limit in order
to claim scatter-gather support
Actually the SG code is commented out and I wonder if it
could not be implemented (ab-)using the large send feature
of the chipset since the latter should support some
multi-descriptor packet transmitting.
