pci_alloc_consistent uses GFP_ATOMIC allocation that may fail on some systems
with limited memory (Bug #14265). pci_pool_alloc allows waiting with
GFP_KERNEL.

<title>e100: e100_phy_init() isolates selected PHY, causes 10 second boot delay</title>

<content type='text'>
A change in how PHYs are electrically isolated caused all PHYs to be
isolated followed by reverting that isolation for the selected PHY.
Unfortunately, isolating the selected PHY for even a short period of
time can result in DHCP negotiation taking more than 10 seconds on certain
embedded configurations delaying boot time as reported by Bernhard Kaindl.
This patch reverts the change to how PHYs are isolated yet still works
around the issue for 82552 needing the selected PHY's BMCR register to
be written after the unused PHYs are isolated.  This code is moved below
the setting of nic-&gt;phy ID in order to do the 82552-specific workaround.

After m68k's task_thread_info() doesn't refer to current,
it's possible to remove sched.h from interrupt.h and not break m68k!
Many thanks to Heiko Carstens for allowing this.

E100 places it's RX packet descriptors inside skb-&gt;data and uses them
with bidirectional streaming DMA mapping. Data in descriptors is
accessed simultaneously by the chip (writing status and size when
a packet is received) and CPU (reading to check if the packet was
received). This isn't a valid usage of PCI DMA API, which requires use
of the coherent (consistent) memory for such purpose. Unfortunately e100
chips working in "simplified" RX mode have to store received data
directly after the descriptor. Fixing the driver to conform to the API
would require using unsupported "flexible" RX mode or receiving data
into a coherent memory and using CPU to copy it to network buffers.

This patch, while not yet making the driver conform to the PCI DMA API,
allows it to work correctly on X86 with swiotlb (while not breaking
other architectures).

E100 places it's RX packet descriptors inside skb-&gt;data and uses them
with bidirectional streaming DMA mapping. Unfortunately it fails to
transfer skb-&gt;data ownership to the device after it reads the
descriptor's status, breaking on non-coherent (e.g., ARM) platforms.

This have to be converted to use coherent memory for the descriptors.

This patch is the result of an automatic spatch transformation to convert
all ndo_start_xmit() return values of 0 to NETDEV_TX_OK.

Some occurences are missed by the automatic conversion, those will be
handled in a seperate patch.
