When NETIF_F_LLTX is set, the atlx driver will use a private lock.
But in recent kernels this implementation seems redundant and
can cause problems where AF_PACKET sees things twice. Since
NETIF_F_LLTX is marked as deprecated and shouldn't be used in
new driver, this patch removes NETIF_F_LLTX and adds a mmiowb
before sending packet. I have tested this driver on a Eee PC.
It works well.

The atl1 driver is causing stalled connections and file corruption
whenever TSO is enabled. Two examples are here:

Disable TSO by default until we can determine the source of the

The L1 hardware contains a bug that flags a fragmented IP packet
as having an incorrect TCP/UDP checksum, even though the packet
is perfectly valid and its checksum is correct. There's no way to
distinguish between one of these good packets and a packet that
actually contains a TCP/UDP checksum error, so all we can do is
allow the packet to be handed up to the higher layers and let it
be sorted out there.
Add a comment describing this condition and remove the code that
currently fails to handle what may or may not be a checksum error.

Based upon a bug report by Alexey Dobriyan, the patch is
also tested by him and confirmed to fix the problem.
Packet flow during link state events should not be done by
waking and stopping the TX queue anyways, that is handled
transparently by netif_carrier_{on,off}().
So, remove the netif_{wake,stop}_queue() calls in the link
check code, and add the necessary netif_start_queue() call
to atl1_up().

The atl1 driver tries to determine the MAC address thusly:
- If an EEPROM exists, read the MAC address from EEPROM and
validate it.
- If an EEPROM doesn't exist, try to read a MAC address from
SPI flash.
- If that fails, try to read a MAC address directly from the
MAC Station Address register.
- If that fails, assign a random MAC address provided by the
kernel.
We now have a report of a system fitted with an EEPROM containing all
zeros where we expect the MAC address to be, and we currently handle
this as an error condition. Turns out, on this system the BIOS writes
a valid MAC address to the NIC's MAC Station Address register, but we
never try to read it because we return an error when we find the all-
zeros address in EEPROM.
This patch relaxes the error check and continues looking for a MAC
address even if it finds an illegal one in EEPROM.

When using 4+ GB RAM and SWIOTLB is active, the driver corrupts
memory by writing an skb after the relevant DMA page has been
unmapped. Although this doesn't happen when *not* using bounce
buffers, clearing the pointer to the DMA page after unmapping
it fixes the problem.

The transmit packet descriptor consists of four 32-bit words, with word 3
upper bits overloaded depending upon the condition of its bits 3 and 4.
The driver currently duplicates all word 2 and some word 3 register bit
definitions unnecessarily and also uses a set of nested structures in its
definition of the TPD without good cause. This patch adds a lengthy
comment describing the TPD, eliminates duplicate TPD bit definitions,
and simplifies the TPD structure itself. It also expands the TSO check
to correctly handle custom checksum versus TSO processing using the revised
TPD definitions. Finally, shorten some variable names in the transmit
processing path to reduce line lengths, rename some variables to better
describe their purpose (e.g., nseg versus m), and add a comment or two
to better describe what the code is doing.

The L1 tx packet descriptor expects TCP Header Length to be expressed as a
number of 32-bit dwords. The atl1 driver uses tcp_hdrlen() to populate the
field, but tcp_hdrlen() returns the header length in bytes, not in dwords.
Add a shift to convert tcp_hdrlen() to dwords when we write it to the tpd.
Also, some of our bit assignments are made to the wrong tpd words. Change
those to the correct words.
Finally, since all this fixes TSO, enable TSO by default.
