Fix bug in bnx2_interrupt() that caused an unnecessary register read.
The BNX2_PCICFG_MISC_STATUS should only be read when the status tag
has not changed.Add prefetch of the status block in bnx2_msi() similar to tg3_msi().
The status block is not touched in bnx2_msi() and prefetching it will
speed up bnx2_poll() that will run on the same CPU that received the
MSI.Update version.

Update version and add 4 minor fixes, the last 2 were suggested by
Jeff Garzik:1. check for a valid ethernet address before setting it
2. zero out bp->regview if init_one encounters an error and unmaps
the IO address. This prevents remove_one from unmapping again.
3. use netif_rx_schedule() instead of hand coding the same.
4. use IRQ_HANDLED and IRQ_NONE.Signed-off-by: Michael Chan

Change all locks from spin_lock_irqsave() to spin_lock_bh(). All
places that require spinlocks are in BH context.Signed-off-by: Michael Chan

Remove atomic operations in the fast tx path. Expensive atomic
operations were used to keep track of the number of available tx
descriptors. The new code uses the difference between the consumer
and producer index to determine the number of free tx descriptors.As suggested by Jeff Garzik, the name of the inline function is
changed to all lower case.Signed-off-by: Michael Chan

This speeds up link-up time on 5706 SerDes if the link partner does
not autoneg, a rather common scenario in blade servers. Some blade
servers use IPMI for keyboard input and it's important to minimize
link disruptions.The speedup is achieved by shortening the timer to (HZ / 3) during
the transient period right after initiating a SerDes autoneg. If
autoneg does not complete, parallel detect can be done sooner. After
the transient period is over, the timer goes back to its normal HZ
interval.As suggested by Jeff Garzik, the timer initialization is moved to
bnx2_init_board() from bnx2_open().An eeprom bit is also added to allow default forced SerDes speed for
even faster link-up time.Signed-off-by: Michael Chan

This fixes an rtnl deadlock problem when flush_scheduled_work() is
called from bnx2_close(). In rare cases, linkwatch_event() may be on
the workqueue from a previous close of a different device and it will
try to get the rtnl lock which is already held by dev_close().The fix is to set a flag if we are in the reset task which is run
from the workqueue. bnx2_close() will loop until the flag is cleared.
As suggested by Jeff Garzik, the loop is changed to call msleep(1)
instead of yield() in the original patch.flush_scheduled_work() is also moved to bnx2_remove_one() before the
netdev is freed.Signed-off-by: Michael Chan

This patch contains the following possible cleanups/fixes:
- use C99 struct initializers
- make a few arrays and structs static
- remove a few uses of literal 0 as NULL pointer
- use convenience function instead of cast+dereference in bnx2_ioctl()
- remove superfluous casts to u8 * in calls to readl/writelSigned-off-by: Peter Hagervall
