453f85d43f mm: remove __GFP_COLD
As the page free path makes no distinction between cache hot and cold
pages, there is no real useful ordering of pages in the free list that
allocation requests can take advantage of.  Juding from the users of
__GFP_COLD, it is likely that a number of them are the result of copying
other sites instead of actually measuring the impact.  Remove the
__GFP_COLD parameter which simplifies a number of paths in the page
allocator.

This is potentially controversial but bear in mind that the size of the
per-cpu pagelists versus modern cache sizes means that the whole per-cpu
list can often fit in the L3 cache.  Hence, there is only a potential
benefit for microbenchmarks that alloc/free pages in a tight loop.  It's
even worse when THP is taken into account which has little or no chance
of getting a cache-hot page as the per-cpu list is bypassed and the
zeroing of multiple pages will thrash the cache anyway.

The truncate microbenchmarks are not shown as this patch affects the
allocation path and not the free path.  A page fault microbenchmark was
tested but it showed no sigificant difference which is not surprising
given that the __GFP_COLD branches are a miniscule percentage of the
fault path.

7aa1402e2e net: ethernet/sfc: Convert timers to use timer_setup()
In preparation for unconditionally passing the struct timer_list pointer to
all timer callbacks, switch to using the new timer_setup() and from_timer()
to pass the timer pointer explicitly.

86bc8b310f sfc-falcon: get rid of custom busy polling code
In linux-4.5, busy polling was implemented in core
NAPI stack, meaning that all custom implementation can
be removed from drivers.

Not only we remove lot's of tricky code, we also remove
one lock operation in fast path.

5a6681e22c sfc: separate out SFC4000 ("Falcon") support into new sfc-falcon driver
Rationale: The differences between Falcon and Siena are in many ways larger
 than those between Siena and EF10 (despite Siena being nominally "Falcon-
 architecture"); for instance, Falcon has no MCPU, so there is no MCDI.
 Removing Falcon support from the sfc driver should simplify the latter,
 and avoid the possibility of Falcon support being broken by changes to sfc
 (which are rarely if ever tested on Falcon, it being end-of-lifed hardware).

The sfc-falcon driver created in this changeset is essentially a copy of the
 sfc driver, but with Siena- and EF10-specific code, including MCDI, removed
 and with the "efx_" identifier prefix changed to "ef4_" (for "EFX 4000-
 series") to avoid collisions when both drivers are built-in.

This changeset removes Falcon from the sfc driver's PCI ID table; then in
 sfc I've removed obvious Falcon-related code: I removed the Falcon NIC
 functions, Falcon PHY code, and EFX_REV_FALCON_*, then fixed up everything
 that referenced them.

Also, increment minor version of both drivers (to 4.1).

For now, CONFIG_SFC selects CONFIG_SFC_FALCON, so that updating old configs
 doesn't cause Falcon support to disappear; but that should be undone at
 some point in the future.
