For the four versions of hardware that we (currently) support microcode
download on, the default configuration of our receive interrupt mitigation
microcode was too aggressive, and caused unnecessary delays when pinging,
and low(er) throughput on single connection latency sensitive performance
tests.
This code adds microcode support, and sets the defaults to more reasonable
settings. It also explains the functionality in the code in more detail.
Compile and load tested, shows expected behavior for slight delay of ping
packets (1-2ms) when ucode is loaded, and decent interrupt moderation for
small packets, while maintaining good throughput.

The smc91x driver relies upon register bank 2 being selected whenever
the interrupt handler is called. This isn't always so, especially if
we have a link change event during PHY configuration.
This results in register bank 0 being selected when the interrupt
handler is called, causing the wrong registers to be read for the
IRQ mask and status. In turn, this causes us to spin with a
permanently asserted IRQ.
The patch ensures that smc_phy_configure always exits with register
bank 2 selected.

Not only SMC_ACK_INT(IM_TX_EMPTY_INT) in in smc_hardware_send_pkt)
appears to be unnecessary (tested with an SMC91C94 and SMC91C111), but
it seems to trigger spurious interrupts on some machines as well.
Removed.
While at it, let's log any remaining spurious interrupts if any (and
clean usage of the max IRQ loop count value).

md needs to monitor the rate of requests to its devices when doing
resync/recovery so that it can back-off when there is non-resync IO. It
does this by comparing resync IO, which it counts, with total IO which is
taken from disk_stats.
disk_stats were recently changed to account sectors when a request
completes instead of when it is queued. This upsets md's calculations.
We could do the sync_io accounting at the end of requests too, but that has
problems. If an underlying device is an md array, the accounting will
still be done when the request is submitted. This could be changed for
some raid levels, but it cannot be changed for raid0 or linear without
substantial code changes.
So instead, we increase the error that is_mddev_idle allows, up to the
maximum amount of resync IO that can be in flight at any time. The
calculation is current fragile as each personality as different limits for
in-flight resync. This should be fixed up.
For now, this simple patch fixes the problem.
Increasing the error margin decreases the sensitivity to non-resync IO. To
partially compensate for this, the time to wait when non-resync IO is
detected is increased so that less steady IO is required to keep the resync
at bay.

Handle errata (it was unintentional on this h/w, whereas its intentional
on others) whereby the nIEN bit in Device Control is ignored, leading to
a situation where a hardware interrupt completes the qc before the
polling code has a chance to.
This will get fixed The Right Way(tm) once Albert Lee's irq-pio
branch is merged, as the more natural PIO method on this hardware is
interrupt-driven.
- DMA boundary was being handled incorrectly. Copied the code from
ata_fill_sg(), since Marvell has the same DMA boundary needs.
(we can't use ata_fill_sg directly since we have different hardware
descriptors)
- cleaned up the SATA phy reset code, to deal with various errata
This fixes a problem with offb not parsing addresses properly on 64 bits
machines, and thus crashing at boot. The problem is worked around by
locating the matching PCI device and using the properly relocated PCI
base addresses instead of misparsing the Open Firmware properties.
