<content type='text'>
Multiple unicast address support appears to have been broken with the
change to support net_device_ops.  This a regression from 2.6.28 to 2.6.29.

I'm not 100% on whether ndo_set_multicast_list can be NULL after this
or not.  If ndo_set_rx_mode is set everything _should_ be using it.

netif_carrier_off() is sufficient to stop Tx into the driver.  Stopping the Tx
queues is redundant and unnecessary.  By the same token, netif_carrier_on()
will be sufficient to re-enable Tx, so waking the queues is unnecessary.

<title>ixgbe: fix tag stripping for VLAN ID 0</title>

<content type='text'>
Register VLAN ID 0 so that frames with VLAN ID 0 are received and get
their tag stripped when ixgbe is not in DCB mode.  VLAN ID 0 means
that the frame is 'priority tagged' only - it is not a VLAN, but the
priority value is the tag in valid.  The functions
ixgbe_vlan_rx_register() and ixgbe_vlan_rx_kill_vid() were moved up a
couple functions to correct compiling issues with this change.

The is an issue where setting Relaxed Ordering (RO) bit
(in a PCI-E write transaction) on 82598 causing the chipset
to drop DCA hints.  This patch forces RO not to be set for
descriptors as well as payload.  This will only be in effect
while DCA is enabled and no performance difference was
noticed in testing.

The adapter rings are kcalloc()'d, but in set_ringparam() in ixgbe_ethtool,
we replace that memory from the vmalloc() pool.  This can result in a NULL
pointer reference when trying to modify the rings at a later time, or on
device removal.

This change allows DCB mode to change the number of queues, and presumably
the number of NAPI instances, safely.

When the napi api was changed to separate its 1:1 binding to the net_device
struct, the netif_rx_[prep|schedule|complete] api failed to remove the now
vestigual net_device structure parameter.  This patch cleans up that api by

Adds the Backward Congestion Notification Address (BCNA) attribute to the
Backward Congestion Notification (BCN) interface for Data Center Bridging

The BCNA attribute is for a switch to inform the endstation about the physical
