It uses RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_05 and this part of the changeset can cut
its performance by a factor of 2~2.5 as reported by Timo.

register when mac_version == RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_0[1-4])

The 8168 ignores the requests to fetch the Tx descriptors when
the relevant TxPoll bit is already set. It easily kills the
performances of the 8168. David Gundersen has noticed that it
is enough to wait for the completion of the DMA transfer (NPQ
bit is cleared) before writing the TxPoll register again.

The extra IO traffic added by the proposed workaround could be
minimalized but it is not a high-priority task.

The phys of the 8110SC (RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_{05/06}) act abnormally in
gigabit mode if they are applied the parameters in rtl8169_hw_phy_config
which actually aim the 8110S/SB.

It is ok to return early from rtl8169_hw_phy_config as it does not
apply to the 8101 and 8168 families.

Theory  : though needless, it should not have hurt.
Practice: it does not play nice with DEBUG_SHIRQ + LOCKDEP + UP
(see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=242572).

The patch makes sense in itself but I should dig why it has an effect
on #242572 (assuming that NAPI do not change in a near future).

Fix extracted from Realtek's driver (8.002.00/20070713) for the PHY

Otherwise (0x8136/0x8168) obey the constraint imposed by the hardware.

The rx copybreak part is straightforward.

The align field in struct rtl_cfg_info is related to the alignment
requirements of the DMA operation. Its value is set at 2 to limit the
scale of possible regression but my old v1.21 8169 datasheet claims a
8 bytes requirements (which never appeared in the driver, of course)
and the 8101/8168 go with a plain 8 bytes alignment.

- new identifier for the 8110SCe

- the PCI latency timer is set unconditionally. This part is identical
  in Realtek's r8168 (8.001.00) and r8101 (1.001.00)

- initialization of the cache line size register is for the 8169s only

- more magic in rtl_hw_start_8169

- it is not possible to factor out the setting of the the irq event mask
  with the 8168 and the 8101 any more. Pushed it into the hw_start handler.

- rtl_set_rx_tx_config_registers() and write to the ChipCmd register are
  issued identically for the whole 8169/8110 family: the 8110SCd/8110SCe
  are handled the same way

- work around for AMD platform.

Some registers definitions in Realtek's driver are let aside for later.

Rationale: rtl8169_hw_start will not help maintaining an unified
driver for different chipsets but people at Realtek are probably
too polite to say it distinctly.

Let's add the hook and keep hw_start handler unchanged.

As can be seen from the content of rtl8169_pci_tbl, the RTL_CFG_1
entry in rtl_cfg_info was unused. I recycled it for the 0x8168.

The former style suggests a modulo arithmetic misuse but
the expression should never be < 0. Even if it does, the
