cd392f5ca9 igb: drop the "adv" off function names relating to descriptors
Many of the function names in the hot path are carrying an extra "_adv"
suffix on the end of them to represent the fact that they are using
advanced descriptors instead of legacy descriptors.  However since all igb
uses are advanced descriptors adding the extra suffix doesn't really add
any additional data.  Since this is the case it is easiest to just drop the
suffix and save us from having to store the extra characters.

238ac817fd igb: update ring and adapter structure to improve performance
This change is meant to improve performance by splitting the Tx and Rx
rings into 3 sections.  The first is primarily a read only section
containing basic things like the indexes, a pointer to the dev and netdev
structures, and basic information.  The second section contains the stats
and next_to_use and next_to_clean values.  The third section is primarily
unused values that can just be placed at the end of the ring and are not
used in the hot path.

The adapter structure has several sections that are read in the hot path.
In order to improve performance there I am combining the frequent read
hot path items into a single cache line.

c023cd8898 igb: streamline Rx buffer allocation and cleanup
This change is meant to streamline the Rx buffer allocation and cleanup.
This is accomplished by reducing the number of writes by only having the Rx
descriptor ring written by software during allocation, and it will only be
read during cleanup.

44390ca6cb igb: drop support for single buffer mode
This change removes support for single buffer mode from igb and makes the
driver function in packet split always.  The advantage to doing this is
that we can reduce total memory allocation overhead significantly as we
will only need to allocate one 1K slab per packet and then make use of a
reusable half page instead of allocating a 2K slab per packet.

153285f9ce igb: Update max_frame_size to account for an optional VLAN tag if present
This patch modifies the max_frame_size in order account for an optional
VLAN tag.  In order to support this we must also increase the
MAX_STD_JUMBO_FRAME_SIZE to account for the 4 extra bytes.

a74420e0f3 igb: Update RXDCTL/TXDCTL configurations
This change cleans up the RXDCTL and TXDCTL configurations and optimizes RX
performance by allowing back write-backs on all hardware other than 82576.
