Intel did some benchmarking on our network throughput when Linux on Hyper-V
is as used as a gateway. This fix gave us almost a 1 Gbps additional throughput
on about 5Gbps base throughput we hadi, prior to increasing the sendbuf size.
The sendbuf mechanism is a copy based transport that we have which is clearly
more optimal than the copy-free page flipping mechanism (for small packets).
In the forwarding scenario, we deal only with MTU sized packets,
and increasing the size of the senbuf area gave us the additional performance.
For what it is worth, Windows guests on Hyper-V, I am told use similar sendbuf
size as well.

The exact value of sendbuf I think is less important than the fact that it needs
to be larger than what Linux can allocate as physically contiguous memory.
Thus the change over to allocating via vmalloc().

We currently allocate 16MB receive buffer and we use vmalloc there for allocation.
Also the low level channel code has already been modified to deal with physically
dis-contiguous memory in the ringbuffer setup.

Based on experimentation Intel did, they say there was some improvement in throughput
as the sendbuf size was increased up to 16MB and there was no effect on throughput
beyond 16MB. Thus I have chosen 16MB here.

Increasing the sendbuf value makes a material difference in small packet handling

In this version of the patch, based on David's feedback, I have added
additional details in the commit log.

We send packets using a copy-free mechanism (this is the Guest to Host transport
via VMBUS). While this is obviously optimal for large packets,
it may not be optimal for small packets. Hyper-V host supports
a second mechanism for sending packets that is "copy based". We implement that
mechanism in this patch.

In this version of the patch I have addressed a comment from David Miller.

With this patch (and all of the other offload and VRSS patches), we are now able
to almost saturate a 10G interface between Linux VMs on Hyper-V
on different hosts - close to  9 Gbps as measured via iperf.

Removed recv_pkt_list and lock, and updated related code, so that
the locking overhead is reduced especially when multiple channels
are in use.

The recv_pkt_list isn't actually necessary because the packets are
processed sequentially in each channel. It has been replaced by a
local variable, and the related lock for this list is also removed.
The is_data_pkt field is not used in receive path, so its assignment
is cleaned up.

Individual drivers should never be touching the 'struct device' field,
so if that is a requirement to pass to the vmbus core, you know
something is wrong.

This patch fixes that all up, and resolves the problem where the module
reference counting was not happening properly for the individual drivers
as well.  Overall, it reduces the lines of code the individual drivers
have to have, which tells you that this is the correct thing to do.

Also, somehow the _GPL marking for the functions got removed on an older
patch.  As the name of the function was changing, properly change the
_GPL marking as well at the same time.
