The r8169 driver currently limits the DMA burst for TX to 1024 bytes. I have
a box where this prevents the interface from using the gigabit line to its full
potential. This patch solves the problem by setting TX_DMA_BURST to unlimited.

The box has an ASRock B75M motherboard with on-board RTL8168evl/8111evl
(XID 0c900880). TSO is enabled.

I used netperf (TCP_STREAM test) to measure the dependency of TX throughput
on MTU. I did it for three different values of TX_DMA_BURST ('5'=512, '6'=1024,
'7'=unlimited). This chart shows the results:
http://michich.fedorapeople.org/r8169/r8169-effects-of-TX_DMA_BURST.png

Interesting points:
 - With the current DMA burst limit (1024):
   - at the default MTU=1500 I get only 842 Mbit/s.
   - when going from small MTU, the performance rises monotonically with
     increasing MTU only up to a peak at MTU=1076 (908 MBit/s). Then there's
     a sudden drop to 762 MBit/s from which the throughput rises monotonically
     again with further MTU increases.
 - With a smaller DMA burst limit (512):
   - there's a similar peak at MTU=1076 and another one at MTU=564.
 - With unlimited DMA burst:
   - at the default MTU=1500 I get nice 940 Mbit/s.
   - the throughput rises monotonically with increasing MTU with no strange
     peaks.

Notice that the peaks occur at MTU sizes that are multiples of the DMA burst
limit plus 52. Why 52? Because:
  20 (IP header) + 20 (TCP header) + 12 (TCP options) = 52

The Realtek-provided r8168 driver (v8.032.00) uses unlimited TX DMA burst too,
except for CFG_METHOD_1 where the TX DMA burst is set to 512 bytes.
CFG_METHOD_1 appears to be the oldest MAC version of "RTL8168B/8111B",
i.e. RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_11 in r8169. Not sure if this MAC version really needs
the smaller burst limit, or if any other versions have similar requirements.

Two years ago, Shan Wei tried to fix this:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/43905/

The problem is that RFC2460 requires an ICMP Time
Exceeded -- Fragment Reassembly Time Exceeded message should be
sent to the source of that fragment, if the defragmentation
times out.

"
   If insufficient fragments are received to complete reassembly of a
   packet within 60 seconds of the reception of the first-arriving
   fragment of that packet, reassembly of that packet must be
   abandoned and all the fragments that have been received for that
   packet must be discarded.  If the first fragment (i.e., the one
   with a Fragment Offset of zero) has been received, an ICMP Time
   Exceeded -- Fragment Reassembly Time Exceeded message should be
   sent to the source of that fragment.
"

As Herbert suggested, we could actually use the standard IPv6
reassembly code which follows RFC2460.

With this patch applied, I can see ICMP Time Exceeded sent
from the receiver when the sender sent out 3/4 fragmented
IPv6 UDP packet.

dev_queue_xmit_nit() should be called right before ndo_start_xmit()
calls or we might give wrong packet contents to taps users :

Packet checksum can be changed, or packet can be linearized or
segmented, and segments partially sent for the later case.

Also a memory allocation can fail and packet never really hit the
driver entry point.

MCDI supports requests up to 252 bytes long, which is only enough to
pass 63 RX queue IDs to MC_CMD_FLUSH_RX_QUEUES.  However a VF may have
up to 64 RX queues, and if we try to flush them all we will generate
an over-length request and BUG() in efx_mcdi_copyin().  Currently
all VF drivers limit themselves to 32 RX queues, so reducing the
limit to 63 does no harm.

Also add a BUILD_BUG_ON in efx_mcdi_flush_rxqs() so we remember to
deal with the same problem there if EFX_MAX_CHANNELS is increased.
