This change is meant to improve the readability of the driver by separating
out the cmd_type configuration and the olinfo configuration into their own
functions. By doing this it is much easier to determine which ingredients
go into setting up these to portions of the descriptor.

This change converts two tx_buffer_info index values into pointers. The
advantage to this is that we reduce unnecessary computations and in the case
of next_to_watch we get an added bonus of the value being able to provide
additional information as a NULL value indicates it is unset versus a 0 not
having any meaning for the index value.

In order to be able to improve the performance of the TX path it has been
necessary to add addition info to the tx_buffer_info structure. However a
side effect is that the structure has gotten larger and this in turn has
also increased the size of the RX buffer info structure. In order to avoid
this in the future I am splitting the single buffer_info structure into two
separate ones and instead I will join them by making the buffer_info
pointer in the ring a union of the two.

This change is to make the NAPI budget limits for transmit
adjustable. Currently they are only set to 128, and when
the changes/improvements to NAPI occur to allow for adjustability,
it would be possible to tune the value for optimal
performance with applications such as routing.
v2: remove tie between NAPI and interrupt moderation
fix work limit define name (s/IXGBE/IGB/)
Update patch description to better reflect patch

Instead of using the multi_tx_table to map possible Tx queues to Tx rings
we can just do simple subtraction for the unlikely event that the Tx queue
provided exceeds the number of Tx rings.

Since igb only uses advanced descriptors we might as well just use an IGB
specific define and drop the _ADV suffix for the descriptor declarations.
In addition this can be further reduced by assuming that it will be working
on pointers since that is normally how the Tx descriptors are handled.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
