A HW limitation was recently discovered where the last buffer in a DDP offload
cannot be a full buffer size in length. Fix the issue with a work around by
adding another buffer with size = 1.

<title>ixgbe: fix panic due to uninitialised pointer</title>

Systems containing an 82599EB and running a backported driver from
upstream were panicing on boot.  It turns out hw-&gt;mac.ops.setup_sfp is
only set for 82599, so one should check to be sure that pointer is set
before continuing in ixgbe_sfp_config_module_task.  I verified by
inspection that the upstream driver has the same issue and also added a
check before the call in ixgbe_sfp_link_config.

The ixgbe_fcoe_ddp_get function wasn't initializing one of its variables
and this was producing compiler warnings.  This patch cleans that up.

<id>a124339ad28389093ed15eca990d39c51c5736cc</id>
<content type='text'>
We have found a hardware erratum on 82599 hardware that can lead to
unpredictable behavior when Header Splitting mode is enabled.  So
we are no longer enabling this feature on affected hardware.

Please see the 82599 Specification Update for more information.

<id>1ac9ad1394fa542ac7ae0dc943ee3cda678799fa</id>
<content type='text'>
After recent changes, (percpu stats on vlan/tunnels...), we dont need
anymore per struct netdev_queue tx_bytes/tx_packets/tx_dropped counters.

Only remaining users are ixgbe, sch_teql, gianfar &amp; macvlan :

1) ixgbe can be converted to use existing tx_ring counters.

2) macvlan incremented txq-&gt;tx_dropped, it can use the
dev-&gt;stats.tx_dropped counter.

3) sch_teql : almost revert ab35cd4b8f42 (Use net_device internal stats)
    Now we have ndo_get_stats64(), use it, even for "unsigned long"
fields (No need to bring back a struct net_device_stats)

4) gianfar adds a stats structure per tx queue to hold
tx_bytes/tx_packets

This removes a lockdep warning (and possible lockup) in rndis gadget,
calling dev_get_stats() from hard IRQ context.
