Reschedule code to read ar.bsp as early as possible. To enable this,
don't bother clearing some of the registers when we're returning to
kernel stacks. Also, instead of trying to support the pNonSys case
(which makes no sense), do a bugcheck instead (with break 0). Finally,
remove a clear of r14 which is a left-over from the previous patch.

Using stf8 seemed like a clever idea at the time, but stf8 forces
the cache-line to be invalidated in the L1D (if it happens to be
there already). This patch eliminates a guaranteed L1D cache-miss
and, by itself, is good for a 1-2 cycle improvement for heavy-weight
syscalls.

Why is this a good idea? Clearing b7 to 0 is guaranteed to do us no
good and writing it with __kernel_syscall_via_epc() yields a 6 cycle
improvement _if_ the application performs another EPC-based system-
call without overwriting b7, which is not all that uncommon. Well
worth the minimal cost of 1 bundle of code.

Call pci_enable_device() before looking at IRQ and resources,
and pci_disable_device() when shutting the interface down.

This is a fix to the pgtable_quicklist code. There is a GFP_KERNEL
allocation in pgtable_quicklist_alloc(), which spews the usual warnings
if the kernel is under heavy VM pressure and the reclaim code is
invoked. re-enable preempt before we allocate the new page.

A lot of places in there are including major.h for no reason
whatsoever. Removed. And yes, it still builds.
The history of that stuff is often amusing. E.g. for net/core/sock.c
the story looks so, as far as I've been able to reconstruct it: we used to
need major.h in net/socket.c circa 1.1.early. In 1.1.13 that need had
disappeared, along with register_chrdev(SOCKET_MAJOR, "socket", &net_fops)
in sock_init(). Include had not. When 1.2 -> 1.3 reorg of net/* had moved
a lot of stuff from net/socket.c to net/core/sock.c, this crap had followed...

Patch from Deepak Saxena
The current memset() and memzero() macros on ARM reference the
incoming parameters more than once and this can cause uninted
side-effects. The issue was found while debugging SCTP protocol
and with the specific usage of memzero(skb_put(skb,size),size).
This call would call skb_put(skb,size) twice leading to badness.
The fixed version copies the incoming parameters into local
variables and uses those instead.

tg3_restart_ints() is called to re-enable interrupts after tg3_poll()
has finished all the work. It calls tg3_cond_int() to force an interrupt
if the status block updated bit is set. The updated bit will be set if
there is a new status block update sometime during tg3_poll() and it can
be very often. The worst part is that even if all the work has been
processed, the updated bit remains set and an interrupt will be forced
unnecessarily.
The fix is to call tg3_has_work() instead to determine if new work is
posted before forcing an interrupt. The way to force an interrupt is
also changed to use "coalesce_now" instead of "SETINT". The former is
generally a safer way to force the interrupt.
Also deleted the first parameter to tg3_has_work() which is unused.

This patch fixes a bug that causes tg3_has_work() to always return 1.
rx work is determined by comparing tp->rx_rcb_ptr with the current hw
producer index. The hw producer index is modulo the ring size, but tp-
>rx_rcb_ptr is a free running counter that goes up beyond the ring size.
After the ring wraps around once, tg3_has_work() will always return 1.
The fix is to always do modulo arithmetic on tp->rx_rcb_ptr.
