When running in a network namespace whose only link to
the outside world is a macvlan device, not being
able to create another macvlan is a real pain.
So modify macvlan creation to allow automatically forward
a creation of a macvlan on a macvlan to become a creation
of a macvlan on the underlying network device.

Similar patch as for 8139cp posted yesterday, so the same comment:

RFC5061 states:
Each adaptation layer that is defined that wishes
to use this parameter MUST specify an adaptation code point in an
appropriate RFC defining its use and meaning.
If the user has not set one - assume they don't want to sent the param
with a zero Adaptation Code Point.
Rationale - Currently the IANA defines zero as reserved - and
1 as the only valid value - so we consider zero to be unset - to save
adding a boolean to the socket structure.
Including this parameter unconditionally causes endpoints that do not
understand it to report errors unnecessarily.

Some systems send SYN packets with apparently wrong RFC1323 timestamp
option values [timestamp tsval=0 tsecr=0].
It might be for security reasons (http://www.secuobs.com/plugs/25220.shtml )
Linux TCP stack ignores this option and sends back a SYN+ACK packet
without timestamp option, thus many TCP flows cannot use timestamps
and lose some benefit of RFC1323.
Other operating systems seem to not care about initial tsval value, and let
tcp flows to negotiate timestamp option.

This patch clears the irqstatus register with the exact same events it
has read from it. Since the read-write operation is not atomic, a new
irqstatus bit could have been set in between these operations and would
then be cleared accidentally.
Secondly, we now don't need any spin lock protection when
scheduling/completing napi poll as the isr will not execute anymore (as
we turn off all interrupts now).

This patch modifies the throughput mode poll settings to reduce the
number of interrupts. This is only used by older hardware that need a
timer irq in throughput mode.
Secondly, this patch increases the default rx ring from 128 to 512. This

512 bytes.

This patch adds the logic to moderate the interrupts by changing the
mode between throughput and poll. If there has been a large amount of
time without any burst of network load, the code will transition to pure
throughput mode (where each tx/rx/other will cause an interrupt). If
bursts of network load occurs, it will transition to poll based mode to
help reduce cpu utilization (it will not interrupt on each packet) while
maintaining the optimum network bandwidth utilization.
