(net: tx scalability works : trans_start)
(net: txq_trans_update() helper)
Now that core network takes care of trans_start updates, dont do it
in drivers themselves, if possible. Multi queue drivers can
avoid one cache miss (on dev->trans_start) in their start_xmit()
handler.
Exceptions are NETIF_F_LLTX drivers (vxge & tehuti)

When the i2400m is connected to a network, the host interface (USB)
cannot be suspended. For that to happen, the device has to have
negotiated with the basestation to put the link on IDLE state.
If the host tries to put the device in standby while it is connected
but not idle, the device resets, as the driver should not do that.
To avoid triggering that, when the USB susbsytem requires the driver
to autosuspend the device, the driver checks if the device is not yet
idle. If it is not, the request is requested (will be retried again
later on after the autosuspend timeout). At some point the device will
enter idle and the request will succeed (unless of course, there is
network traffic, but at that point, there is no idle neither in the
link or the host interface).

wimax connection manager / daemon has to know what is current
state of the device. Previously it was only possible to get
notification whet state has changed.
Note:
By mistake, the new generic netlink's number for
WIMAX_GNL_OP_STATE_GET was declared inserting into the existing list
of API calls, not appending; thus, it'd break existing API.
Fixed by Inaky Perez-Gonzalez <inaky@linux.intel.com> by moving to
the tail, where we add to the interface, not modify the interface.
Thanks to Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> for catching this.

From a fix by Cindy H Kao:
Block size has to be set before sending IOE enable because the
firmware reads the block size register before it reads IOE register.

Functions i2400m_report_tlv*() are only called from
i2400m_report_hook(), called in a workqueue by
i2400m_report_hook_work(). The scheduler checks for device readiness
before scheduling.
Added an extra check for readiness in i2400m_report_hook_work(), which
makes all the checks down the line redundant.
Obviously the device state could change in the middle, but error
handling would take care of that.

By running 'echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmxX/i2400m/trace_msg_from_user',
the driver will echo to user space all the commands being sent to the
device from user space, along with the responses.
However, this only helps with the commands being sent from user space;
with this patch, the trace hook is moved to i2400m_msg_to_dev(), which
is the single access point for running commands to the device (both by
user space and the kernel driver). This allows better debugging by
having a complete stream of commands/acks and reports.

When commands are sent from user space, trace both the command sent
and the answer received over the "echo" pipe instead of over the
"trace" pipe when command tracing is enabled. As well, when the device
sends a reports/indications, send it over the "echo" pipe.
The "trace" pipe is used by the device to send firmware traces;
gets confusing. Another named pipe makes it easier to split debug
information.

The WiMAX i2400m driver needs to generate a fake source MAC address to
fake an ethernet header (for destination, the card's MAC is
used). This is the source of the packet, which is the basestation it
came from. The basestation's mac address is not usable for this, as it
uses its own namespace and it is not always available.
Currently the fake source MAC address was being set to all zeros,
which was causing trouble with bridging.
Use random_ether_addr() to generate a proper one that creates no
trouble.

Currently skb_gro_header is used for packets which put the hardware
header in skb->data with the rest in frags. Since the drivers that
need this optimisation all provide completely non-linear packets,
we can gain extra optimisations by only performing the frag0
optimisation for completely non-linear packets.
In particular, we can simply test frag0 (instead of skb_headlen)
to see whether the optimisation is in force.

The function skb_gro_header is called four times per packet which
quickly adds up at 10Gb/s. This patch inlines it to allow better

Some architectures perform multiplication for page_address, which
is done by each skb_gro_header invocation. This patch caches that
value in skb->cb to avoid the unnecessary multiplications.
